Trey Griffey, the son of MLB Hall of Famer and Seattle Mariners great Ken Griffey Jr., is taking his two-sport ability to the NFL.

The 23-year-old, drafted by the Mariners in the 24th round in 2016, was signed Tuesday by the Miami Dolphins to play wide receiver.

Trey, a graduate of the University of Arizona, hasn't played in a professional baseball game and it appears he won't be following in his legendary father's footsteps. "Junior" spent 22 years in the big leagues accumulating 630 home runs, 1,836 RBIs, and had a career .907 OPS, which included the 1997 AL MVP award.
