14 BRIAN GRIESE Quarterback Height: 6-3 Weight: 215 College: Michigan Born: March 18, 1975, in Miami, Fla. High School: Columbus High School, Miami, Fla. Resides: Miami, Florida Acquired: Draft #3 (91st overall), 1998 Pro Year: 6th year overall 1st with Dolphins: 5 Years with Broncos: NFL Games Played/Started: 53/51 Postseason: 0/0 Released by the Broncos June 1st Signed by the Dolphins June 9th 2002: Griese-voted offensive captain for the second half of the season, joining Rod Smith-started 13 of 16 games and completed 291 of 436 passes (franchise-record 66.7%) for 3,214 yds. and 15 touchdowns, with 15 interceptions, for a passer rating of 85.6 (8th AFC/T11th NFL). He ranked third in the NFL in completion percentage, fifth in the AFC (6th NFL) in average gain, eighth in completions and eighth in yards. Griese was the backup to Steve Beuerlein for the season finale vs. Ariz. (12/29), and did not play. He re-injured his left knee at Oak. (12/22) in the 2nd qtr. while being sacked by Bill Romanowski and did not return to the game. Before the injury Griese was 7-of-15 for 48 yds., with two interceptions. Versus K.C. (12/15) he passed for 297 yards, and a touchdown, completing 18-of-26 (69.2%), with one interception. For the fifth time in 2002 he posted a passer rating over 100 (104.2) and posted a season-best 11.42 yards per attempt. Griese returned to the lineup after a two-game absence at the Jets (12/8) and completed 28-of-37 passes (75.7%) for 266 yds. and a touchdown, with one interception, in his first action since Nov. 17 when he suffered a knee injury at Sea. Griese's 75.7 completion percentage at the Jets marked his fifth game of 2002 completing better than 70 percent of his passes, and the ninth of his career. Griese was the backup quarterback to Steve Beuerlein at S.D. (12/1), but did not play, a week after being designated the third quarterback vs. Ind. (11/24) as he recovered from a left knee injury suffered at Sea. (11/17). Griese left the Seattle game with 2:31 remaining in the 3rd qtr. with a second-degree sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his left knee, which kept him out of the lineup for two weeks. The injury occurred on a 16-yd. pass completion to Rod Smith that set the Broncos up at the Seahawks' 1-yd. line, after which Griese was hit late by Seattle's Rocky Bernard. Prior to his departure Griese passed Craig Morton (1,594) for second on Denver's all-time list for pass attempts. Griese's streak of throwing a touchdown pass in 23 consecutive games-a Broncos franchise record-ended vs. Oak. (11/11), though he did complete better than 70 percent of his passes (34-47, 72.3%) for the second week in a row, fourth time in 2002 and eighth time in his career. Griese's 34 completions ranked second on his single-game list, while his 47 attempts ranked third. In Wk. 8 at N.E. (10/27) Griese completed a career-high 78.3 percent of his passes (18-of-23), for 229 yds. and one touchdown, with one interception. His touchdown at N.E. came on an 8-yd. toss to Shannon Sharpe. At K.C. (10/20) Griese completed 30-of-50 passes for a career high 376 yds. and two touchdowns, setting a franchise record with his fourth straight 300-yd. passing game. Griese joined Dan Fouts (twice), Bill Kenney (twice), Joe Montana, Warren Moon, Drew Bledsoe and Kurt Warner in a tie for the sixth-longest streak of 300-yd. passing game in NFL history. The 50 pass attempts were the second most in Griese's career, while his 30 completions tied for his third most at the time. The game also marked the fifth time in Griese's career he led the Broncos to victory with a fourth-quarter or overtime game-winning drive. Trailing 34-20 with 12:42 remaining in the 4th qtr., Griese led the Broncos 70 yds. in four plays, taking just 1:51 off the clock, and capping the drive with a 28-yd. touchdown pass to Sharpe. He then led an 11-play, 67-yd. drive, covering 3:26, on which Mike Anderson scored on a 2-yd. rush to tie the game at 34-34 with 21 seconds remaining. In overtime Griese led the Broncos 25 yds. in three plays, in 42 seconds, to set up Jason Elam's game-winning 25-yd. field goal. Griese's 82-yd. touchdown pass to Sharpe at K.C. was the longest touchdown pass of his career and second longest play of his career. He also became the third Bronco QB to surpass the 10,000-yd. career passing mark in the contest, joining Elway (51,475) and Craig Morton (11,895). With his 30 completions he raised his career total to 922 and passed Craig Morton (907) for second most in franchise history. Versus Miami Griese completed 27-of-46 pass attempts (tied for his third most attempts at the time) for 335 yds., his third consecutive 300-yd. passing game. In Wk. 5 vs. S.D. (10/6) Griese completed 74.3 percent of his passes (26-of-35) for 316 yds. and two touchdowns, with one interception, the sixth time in his career he had completed better than 70 percent of his passes in a game. On Denver's second touchdown drive Griese completed 9-of-9 passes for 81 yds., leading the Broncos' offense to 109 total yards on the drive, as they overcame 25 yds. in penalties. He completed 35-of-53 attempts at Balt. (9/30), both of which represent career highs. The 35 completions are third most in franchise history for a single game, and the 53 attempts tie for fourth most (Mickey Slaughter, 12/20/64, at Houston). Griese rushed for his first touchdown of the season in the 4th qtr. at Balt. on a 1-yd. run, his fifth career rushing touchdown. Griese completed 14-of-19 passes for 119 yds. and two touchdowns at S.F. (9/15) and posted his third-highest career passer rating (124.7), while also moving into third place in career pass attempts by a Bronco, eclipsing Frank Tripucka (1,277). In the opener vs. St. Louis (9/8) Griese completed 18-of-27 passes for 202 yds. and two touchdowns. 2001: Griese started 15 games, completing 275 of 451 passes (61%) for 2,827 yds. and a career-best 23 touchdowns with 19 interceptions. He also posted career highs for rushing attempts (50) and yards (173) and scored one rushing touchdown. Griese?s 23 touchdown passes were the sixth-most ever thrown in a single season by a Bronco and ranked third in the AFC (8th NFL) in 2001. He also ranked sixth in completion percentage; seventh in completions; eighth in passer rating (78.5) and ninth in pass attempts. Griese was 9-9 on 3rd-and-1 rushing opportunities, to tie for the NFL lead, and finished the season having thrown a touchdown pass in each of his past 15 games (missed one game due to injury), the longest current streak in the NFL. Griese returned to the starting lineup vs. Oak. (12/30) and completed 19 of 26 passes (73%) for 142 yards and a touchdown, and also ran for his first touchdown of the season, fourth of his career. The Raiders game also featured his fourth career fourth-quarter or overtime game-winning or game-saving drive, all of which have come against the Raiders (at Oak. 1999; at Den. ?99, ?00 and ?01). Trailing Oak. 17-13 in the 4th qtr., Griese led the Broncos 76 yards in 14 plays, knocking off 8:24 from the game clock, for the go-ahead touchdown. He found Rod Smith for a 12-yd. touchdown pass, putting Denver on top 20-17 with 9:59 remaining. Jason Elam added a field goal to produce the 23-17 final margin. Griese was designated the third quarterback at K.C. (12/16) while recovering from the effects of a concussion suffered the week before vs. Sea. (12/9). He left that game early in the 3rd qtr. after suffering a mild concussion at the end of a rush, and was replaced by Gus Frerotte. Griese did not return, and finished the night having completed 11 of 17 (64.7%) for 81 yds. and one touchdown, with one interception. He also rushed twice for 18 yards, suffering the injury on his second rush for 9 yds. A week earlier, in a homecoming at Mia. (12/2), Griese threw his 53rd career touchdown to move ahead of Charley Johnson (52) for third place all-time in touchdown passes by a Bronco. The 4-yd. scoring toss to Desmond Clark was also Griese?s 20th of the season to eclispse his career single-season best. Versus Wash. (11/18) Griese passed Frank Tripucka (662) for third place in all-time completions by a Bronco, and tied Tripucka (51) for fourth place in career touchdown passes. He also posted his longest career rushing attempt (24 yds.). Versus S.D. (11/11) Griese had his best game since Wk. 2, completing 21 of 31 passes for 224 yds. and two touchdowns, posting a quarterback rating of 110.1. He also rushed for 21 yds. on four carries (5.3) in Denver?s 26-16 win. In the contest Griese threw his 50th career touchdown pass, in just his 34th game, reaching that plateaufaster than any previous Broncos quarterback. John Elway did so in his 46th game. Griese also moved into third place on the Broncos? all-time passing yds. list, bettering Tripucka?s 7,676, and trailing John Elway (51,475) and Craig Morton (11,985). At Oak. (11/5) he completed 22 of 32 passes (68.8%) for 221 yds., throwing two touchdowns and two interceptions. Griese moved into fourth place on the Broncos? career list for passing yds. vs. N.E. (10/28), passing Charley Johnson (7,238). In the N.E. game he also recorded his longest pass play of the season, connecting with Rod Smith for a 65-yd. touchdown. Griese passed Charley Johnson (970) for fourth place in career pass attempts by a Bronco at S.D. (10/21), when he increased his career total to 981. For the day he completed 26 of 41 passes (63.4), tossing one touchdown and rushing for seven yards. At Sea. (10/14) Griese moved into fifth place all-time in total yds. by a Bronco, passing teammate Terrell Davis (7,011). Griese passed Steve Ramsey (6,437 yds.) for fifth place on the Broncos? career passing yds. list vs. Balt. (9/30). He was named AFC Offensive Player of the Month for September when he completed 60 of 93 (64.5%) for 763 yds. and seven touchdowns while compiling a 106.2 quarterback rating. In Wk. 2 at Ariz. (9/23) he added to his hot start, completing 22 of 31 passes for 242 yds. and three touchdowns. At one point in the game he completed 17 straight passes, the longest streak of his career and third-longest in team history. His three-touchdown performance was his second in a row, tying his career best, and marking the sixth time he has done so. The three TD tosses gave him 39 for his career, and moved him into sixth on the Broncos? all-time list. Griese?s 22 completions gave him 521 for his career, placing him fourth on Denver?s all-time list, passing Charley Johnson. Griese was spectacular in the opener vs. the Giants (9/10), completing 21 of 29 passes (72.4%; second-best of career) for 330 yds. and three touchdowns to earn both AFC Offensive Player of the Week for the second time in his career and claim his first Miller Lite/NFL Player of the Week award. He posted a quarterback rating of 144.3, the best of his career, while the 330 yds. ranked fifth on his list and the three touchdowns tied his career high. It was his eighth career 300-yd. passing game, and he also rushed five times for eight yards. Griese was voted an offensive captain by his teammates for 2001, sharing the role with Rod Smith. 2000: Griese?voted to play in the Pro Bowl this season for the first time in his career?started 10 games and completed 216 of 336 passes (franchise-record 64.3%) for 2,688 yds. and a career-high 19 touchdowns, with just four interceptions and a long of 61 for an NFL-best passer rating of 102.9. His 4.75-1 TD-to-INT ratio was the second best in NFL history behind Steve DeBerg?s 5.75-1 ratio (23-4) with Kansas City in 1990. He also rushed 29 times for 102 yds. (3.5) and one touchdown with a long of 18. Griese was voted by his teammates an offensive captain at the midpoint of the season, joining Terrell Davis. Griese led the AFC in completion percentage (2nd NFL) and yards-per-attempt (8.00; 4th NFL), and despite missing six full games and most of another, still ranked sixth in touchdown passes (T12th NFL); eighth in passing yards; ninth in completions and 10th in attempts. He was also the NFL?s leading passer on third-down (109.6 rating) and ranked second in fourth-quarter passing (112.6 rating). He started nine of the first 10 games, but then missed five games because of a separated acromioclavicular (AC) joint in his right (throwing) shoulder, suffered vs. Oak. (11/13). He returned to practice on a limited basis the week of the K.C. game (12/17), and returned to the starting lineup the following week for the finale vs. S.F. (12/23), but was only able to play part of the first series before leaving the game because of pain in his shoulder. Griese was inactive vs. S.D., 11/19; at Sea., 11/26; at N.O., 12/3; vs. Sea., 12/10; at K.C., 12/17 and for the AFC Wild Card Game at Balt.,12/31. Versus Oakland on Monday Night Football (11/13) Griese showed tremendous courage and leadership, and earned the NFL.com All-Heart Player of the Week Award (and later the All-Heart Performance of the Year Award), by playing the majority of the game with a separated AC joint in his right (throwing) shoulder and engineering a fourth-quarter game-winning drive?the third of his career. Griese suffered the injury on Denver?s second offensive series, and was taken to the locker room for examination. He returned to the game on the second play of the 2nd qtr., and played the remainder of the contest, completing 25 of 37 (68%) for 262 yds. and a touchdown, with one interception. On the Broncos? 10-play, 83-yd. touchdown march that put them ahead 24-10 in the 4th qtr., Griese completed 6 of 6 for 73 yds. Then, with the score tied at 24, and 1:01 remaining on the clock, Griese led a 7-play, 44-yd. drive to set up Jason Elam?s 41-yd. game-winning field goal. He covered 42 yds. on four straight pass completions and the final two yards on a quarterback sneak to set up the field goal attempt. Showing his affinity for performing in the clutch, from the midway point of the 3rd qtr. he completed 15 of his final 17 pass attempts (88%) for 161 yds. and a touchdown (125.7 rating), and in the 4th qtr. alone he completed 9 of 11 (82%) for 102 and a touchdown (135.6 rating). At one point he completed 11 straight passes for 119 yds.?tied for the fifth longest completion streak in franchise history. A week earlier Griese began the second half of the season by throwing for more than 300 yds. for the third game in a row, tying an all-time Broncos franchise record, at the Jets (11/5). He completed 22 of 35 passes (63%) for 327 yards and two touchdowns (both to Ed McCaffrey) with one interception to tie the record held by John Elway (1996, 1993-94). It was Griese?s fifth 300-yd. passing day of the season, tied for most in a season (Elway, ?95), and the seventh of Griese?s career, second most in team history. Griese was particularly sharp on third downs (the Broncos converted 12 of 18 for the game), completing 13 of 16 passes (81%) for 225 yards and two touchdowns, achieving the highest possible passer rating (158.3) in such situations. With the score tied 20-20 late in the 3rd qtr. he led Denver 71 yds. in 10 plays over 5:24 for the go-ahead 23-yd. Elam field goal, then 80 yds. in 8 plays over 4:12, capped by a 47-yd. TD pass to McCaffrey for a 30-20 lead. Griese turned in an impressive performance at Cin. (10/22), throwing for a career-high 365 yds. on 30 of 45 passing (67%), with two touchdowns and one interception. Griese?s two touchdown passes gave him 16 for the season, a personal single-season high (14, 1999). He matched his career high with three touchdown tosses for the second week in a row (fourth career) in a Week 7 win over Cleve. (10/15), as he completed 19 of 34 passes (56%) for 336 yds. All three scoring passes went to Rod Smith (17 yds., 22 and 32). It was Griese?s third 300-yd. game of the season?a plateau he had already reached by halftime (18-33, 304 yds., 2 TDs), making him the first NFL player to pass for 300 yards in a half since Dec. 5, 1999 (Jeff Garcia, S.F., 307 vs. Cin., 2nd half). With five 300-yd. passing performances in his first 19 starts, Griese reached that number faster than any quarterback in franchise history (Tripucka, 31st start; Elway, 40th start). He threw three touchdown passes the week before at S.D. (10/8), among his 27 completions in 40 attempts (68%) for 235 yds. Two of his scoring tosses went to McCaffrey (2 and 5 yds.) and the other went to Dwayne Carswell (14 yds.). Griese had returned to his starting role in Week 5 vs. N.E. (10/1) after missing the previous game because of a partially torn labrum in his right shoulder, suffered at Oak. (9/17). He set career highs for completions (31) and attempts (50) in the New England game, while posting his second highest yardage total (361; now third), to go with one touchdown and one interception. Griese?s 50 attempts tied for the sixth most in a game by a Broncos quarterback, and were the most since John Elway threw 59 passes at Green Bay, Oct. 10, 1993. His 31 completions were the fourth most in a game by a Bronco, and the most since Elway completed a franchise-record 36 vs. San Diego, Sept. 4, 1994. In the New England game Griese also ended a streak of 181 consecutive passes thrown without an interception, eight shy of the franchise record (Elway, 189 in 1997). He was designated the third quarterback vs. K.C. (9/24) because of the injury. Before missing the K.C. game Griese had begun the year with three consecutive outstanding performances, the last of which came at Oakland (9/17) when he engineered a 33-24 win over the previously unbeaten Raiders and completed his fourth straight game without an interception. He connected on 21 of 31 (67.7%) passes for 213 yards and two touchdowns, with a long of 35. Griese?s touchdowns went 10 yds. to McCaffrey and 1 yd. to Howard Griffith. He was impressive the previous week vs. Atlanta (9/10), tying his career high with three touchdown passes while completing 20 of 33 passes (61%) for 268 yds. His touchdowns went 6 yds. to Griffith and 11 and 37 yds. to Rod Smith. Griese made a spectacular 2000 debut on Monday Night Football at defending Super Bowl champion St. Louis (9/4), completing 19 of 29 passes (65.5%) for 307 yds. and two touchdowns, for a passer rating of 123.8, best in the NFL for Week 1. He also rushed for a touchdown (8 yds.) among his four carries for 28 yds. (7.0), and was sacked four times (-33). His touchdown passes went 25 yds. to R. Smith and 7 yds. to Desmond Clark. 1999: Griese played in 14 games, and started 13, completing 261 of 452 (57.7%) passes for 3,032 yds. and 14 touchdowns, with 14 interceptions and a long of 88. He rushed 46 times for 138 yds. (3.0) and two touchdowns with a long of 23, and been sacked 27 times (-176). With 3,032 passing yards in 1999, Griese became just the eighth quarterback in the NFL since 1970 to pass for more than 3,000 yards in the year of his first start. Griese was active but did not play in Weeks 9 and 10 (at S.D., 11/7; at Sea., 11/14) because of a sore shoulder, and played in a reserve role vs. Oak. (11/22) in Week 11. In Griese?s first NFL start, vs. Miami (9/13), he performed well, completing 24 of 40 passes (60%) for 270 yds. and three touchdowns. His longest completion was a 61-yd. touchdown to Ed McCaffrey on his sixth attempt of the night, and just the ninth of his career. All three of Griese?s touchdown passes went to McCaffrey, as the duo folllowed the initial TD connection with scoring strikes of 11 and 4 yds. in the third and fourth quarters, respectively. Griese added his fourth touchdown of the season at Tampa Bay (9/26) on a 12-yd. pass to McCaffrey in the 1st qtr. He temporarily established a new longest career pass with a 71-yd. completion to Rod Smith vs. the Jets (10/3). Griese notched his first NFL win as a starter at Oakland (10/10), completing 17 of 29 (58.6%) for 234 yds. and one touchdown, with one interception, while rushing a career-high seven times for 16 yds. (2.3). The touchdown came on a 3-yd. pass to Rod Smith just before halftime, capping an efficient 5-play, 57-yd. drive that consumed just 40 seconds of clock time. On the drive, Griese completed all four of his passes for 57 yds., and carried the ball 5 yds. on Denver?s only running play. The win also marked Griese?s first NFL game-winning fourth-quarter drive, as he marched the Broncos 63 yds. in 11 plays for the winning 26-yd. field goal. He made it two wins in a row with his performance against Green Bay (10/17), completing 19 of 31 passes (61.3) for a career-high 363 yds. and two touchdowns with one interception, to earn AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors. The yardage figure was the 11th-highest single-game total in franchise history, and the highest by a first-year starter. His 88-yard shovel-pass completion to Byron Chamberlain in the contest was the longest non-scoring pass play in franchise history, and the seventh-longest overall, and was the longest pass play in the AFC (T3rd NFL) in 1999. Griese also rushed for his first NFL touchdown in the contest, a 2-yarder in the 4th qtr. to provide the final margin of 31-10. Griese made it two games in a row with both a passing and rushing touchdown, at New England (10/24), part of a 25-of-38, 316-yard effort that saw him become the first Broncos first-year starter to exceed the 300-yd. passing mark in back-to-back games. The 25 completions represented a new career high, as did his 23 rushing yards (3 carries) and his longest carry of 14 yds. After missing two games with a sore shoulder, Griese entered the Oakland game (11/22) in the 4th qtr. and sparked the Broncos to a 27-21 overtime victory. He completed 6 of 14 passes for 60 yds. with a long of 24, and rushed twice for 1 yd., while being sacked once (-2). Griese led Denver to field goals on two of his three fourth-quarter drives ? the latter coming with just 7 seconds remaining in the game ? to force an overtime session, in which Olandis Gary scored on a 24-yd. run for the game-winner. The game marked Griese?s second career fourth-quarter or overtime game-saving or game-winning drive. Griese returned to the starting lineup vs. K.C. (12/5) and completed 20 of 36 for 227 yds. (55.5%) with one interception. He had his best game in terms of completion percentage (73.3%) at Detroit (12/25) on 22 of 30 passing for 171 yds. in a 17-7 Denver win. In the preseason Griese was named the Broncos? starting quarterback Aug. 30, replacing Bubby Brister. In five preseason games (1 start) he completed 68 of 101 passes (67.3%) for 716 yds. and 6 touchdowns with just one interception, to compile a passer rating of 103.4. He rushed twice for 5 yds. (2.5) with a long of 3, and was sacked three times for 23 yds. 1998: Griese was designated the Broncos? third quarterback for 14 of the 16 games in his rookie season. He saw his first NFL action in Week Five vs. Philadelphia (10/4), replacing Bubby Brister in the fourth quarter. Griese completed 1 of 3 passes for 2 yds. with one interception, while also being credited with four rushing attempts for -4 yds. He completed his first NFL pass for a 2-yd. gain to Vaughn Hebron. Griese was active for the Broncos? Monday Night game at Kansas City (11/16), as the backup to starter Bubby Brister, with John Elway being designated Denver?s third QB because of strained rib cartilage. In the preseason, Griese played in all four games and completed 27 of 50 passes (54.0) for 372 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. His longest completion, of 48 yards, went to Justin Armour for the game-winning touchdown vs. New Orleans. Griese, who also rushed 14 times for 32 yards (2.3) with a long of 8, directed game-winning fourth-quarter drives in each of his first three appearances. In the postseason Griese was designated the Broncos? third quarterback for all three contests. With Denver?s 34-19 conquest of Atlanta in Super Bowl XXXIII (1/31), Griese, a rookie, completed his second straight championship season, after quarterbacking the University of Michigan to the collegiate national championship in 1997. COLLEGE: Griese helped lead the Michigan Wolverines to their first national championship in 49 years as a senior in 1997, earning first-team All-Big 10 Conference honors. He directed the Wolverines to a 12-0 mark and a share of the national championship with Nebraska, defeating Washington State in the Rose Bowl with an MVP performance. He was a finalist for the Davey O'Brien Award and the recipient of the National Football Foundation & Hall of Fame Scholar-Athlete Award. Griese completed 193 of 307 passes (62.9%) for 2,293 yards, 17 touchdowns and only six interceptions, breaking the previous school single-season records of 189 completions of 296 passes by Todd Collins in 1993. Only Collins (2,509 in 1993 and 2,518 in 1994) and Jim Harbaugh (2,729 in 1986) have thrown for more yards in a season for the Wolverines. Griese?s interception percentage of 1.95% was the fourth-lowest in school annals. He was an Academic All-Big Ten Conference pick as a junior, playing mostly in a reserve role (35 of 61, 57.4%, 513 yds., 3 TD, 2 Int.). Griese started the last nine games as a sophomore, completing 127 of 238 passes (53.4%) for 1,577 yards, 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He saw action only as a holder for placements and field goals for the last nine games of his freshman season after redshirting in 1993. Griese finished his college career with 355 completions in 606 attempts (58.6%) for 4,383 yards, 33 touchdowns and 18 interceptions. He has a bachelor?s degree in political science. PERSONAL: Griese was a Prep Football Report All-Southeast, Miami Herald all-city second-team and all-state third-team selection as a senior at Columbus High School in Miami, Fla., completing 101 of 183 passes for 1,387 yards and seven touchdowns in his final year.
