Forrest Porter "Chubby" Grigg, Jr.
(January 10, 1926 – October 10, 1983) was an American football tackle who played seven seasons in the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) and National Football League (NFL) in the 1940s and 1950s.
Grigg grew up in Texas and attended the University of Tulsa in Oklahoma.
After graduating from college, he joined the AAFC's Buffalo Bisons, where he played for a year.
Grigg was then sent to the Chicago Rockets in 1947, but stayed only one season before joining the Cleveland Browns in 1948.
The Browns won all of their games and the AAFC championship that season.
Cleveland again won the AAFC championship in 1949 before the league dissolved and the Browns were absorbed by the more established NFL.
Grigg continued to play for the Browns in 1950 and 1951.
The team won the NFL championship in 1950, and reached the title game but lost it the following year.
Grigg spent a final season with the Dallas Texans before retiring from football. After football, Grigg owned and ran a successful restaurant in Texas for 18 years, retiring in the early 1970s as his health began to falter.
In late 1976, he was arrested after shooting and killing his son Michael, who was taking drugs and had been convicted of burglary the year before.
Grigg was tried for the crime in 1977 and found guilty of involuntary manslaughter; he was sentenced to five years of probation.
He died in 1983.
