Archie Griffin was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, where he won a pair of Heisman Trophies at Ohio State. He's also one of just two players to start in four consecutive Rose Bowl games.
Archie Griffin was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, where he rose to stardom at Ohio State, winning a pair of Heisman Trophies. He still lives there. Now he’s also a permanent resident of Pasadena. The Rose Bowl unveiled a statue of the decorated running back Saturday, honoring Griffin as the stadium did with monuments to Jackie Robinson, Terry Donahue, Keith Jackson and the 1999 U.S. Women’s World Cup team.
” Ohio State went 1-3 in those Rose Bowls, going 1-2 against USC and losing the last to UCLA. “This place has special memories,” Griffin said. “Every time I come out here what comes to mind is the Rose Bowl because we would always come out 2½ weeks early and train here, because back in Ohio it was not set up for training in the winter.
