An international football journeyman is hoping to stick at the sport's highest level.
Ben Griffiths , who played for the Cardinal and Gold from 2019-21 , has earned a training camp invitation from the Los Angeles Chargers , reports
The 6-foot-7, 220-pound journeyman has already enjoyed a lengthy football career. He served as a forward/ruck while playing Australian rules football professionally for the AFL's Richmond Football Club from 2009-18. Having plenty of NCAA eligibility left , Griffiths retired early and signed on with USC during the Clay Helton era, with the goal of becoming a punter. After not making the NFL post-USC, he also played for CFL club the Edmonton Elks.
Now, he'll look to survive training camp with the Bolts, a feat he was unable to achieve two seasons ago when L.A. last invited him to its preseason. Los Angeles does have a punter and holder presently rostered, who at 28 is significantly younger than the 32-year-old Griffiths. Perhaps Griffiths is seen as a viable practice squad option. Time will tell if he can make the cut this time.
