Grigson is a man with local ties, as he originally grew up in Northwest Indiana. He is a native of Highland, Indiana, and he attended Purdue University from 1991-94. He was a member of Purdue's football team at that time, playing tight end and offensive tackle under Jim Colletto. As a senior in 1994 he served as one of the team's captains. He was a sixth round selection of the Bengals in the 1995 draft and played one season for the Detroit Lions and Toronto Argonauts before retiring due to a back injury.
