The Buffalo Bills have signed UDFA  Olaijah Griffin, the son of rapper Warren G, whose 1994 smash hit “Regulate” has been a staple in the hip-hop/ G-funk music scene ever since. Griffin announced the signing on Twitter with a very fresh-looking post. Maybe now before every game the team will give that song a play.


Griffin, a cornerback out of the University of Southern California, had 67 total tackles, 43 of them solo, 2.5 for loss.  He did not record a sack, but did grab one interception in his three years of suiting up for the Trojans, which came in his final season as a junior for the team.

Griffin was honorable mention all-conference in his final two years, and has a history of being experienced at cornerback and special teams. He’ll fit right in with the heavy zone coverage used by Buffalo Bills Defensive Coordinator Leslie Frazier. Although his shoulder injury history may be a slight cause for concern, he has as much of shot of anyone to make the squad. Maybe the shoulder problems contribute to one of his weaknesses of not being so great at jamming receivers on the line. It’s probably easy to see why Griffin can become a fan favorite right away.

On top of all of this, his godfather is former Patriots linebacker Willie McGinnest, and the nephew of Snoop Dogg. Best wishes and luck to Griffin as he tries to make the roster. His family would create an awesome playlist for a pre-game warmup. Will the Regulators mount up around the wagons?
