His knee is destroyed.

I bet he'll be fine. Shanny will just have to pull him a bit earlier in the future, or he'll be donating his own patellar tendon to graft into Griffin's knee.
Sure they can be stronger, on the first instance. Now as the 2nd injury to the same spot, it's going to be weaker. And as thin as that dude's legs are, he's always going to be prone to injury from hits.
