Luck has long been touted as the best quarterback in the draft, and the favorite to go to the rebuilding Colts. But Griffin believes he still had a chance to go first overall until a couple of weeks ago.

Griffin and Luck both had impressive Pro Days, but the Colts wanted to host both for private workouts to take final looks at each passer. Luck obliged. Griffin did not.

After Griffin turned the Colts down, the team stopped showing interest in him, he said.

“They offered me a private workout and we refused. I didn’t do any private workouts for anybody,” Griffin said. “After that, I think feelings might’ve been hurt or something like that. I went to D.C. on a visit and [Indianapolis] didn’t offer a visit at all, and so we kind of knew what direction they were going. But Andrew’s their guy. You can’t be mad about that.”

“Me and Andrew competed for that first pick when we had no real control of what that is,” Griffin said. “Him going first, me going second isn’t a reflection of who’s better. It’s just a better fit for a team. For the rest of our careers, we’ll be linked. Hopefully we’ll be the greatest link of all time.”

Yeah man, they totally took Andrew even though they really wanted you because you turned them down.
