Robert Griffin III
Robert Griffin III, often referred to as “RG3”, is a former NFL quarterback who burst onto the scene with a style that combined traditional pocket passing with electrifying mobility. He played college football at Baylor, where he won the Heisman Trophy in 2011.
Griffin was drafted 2nd overall by the Washington Redskins in the 2012 NFL Draft. His rookie season was nothing short of spectacular, as he led the Redskins to a playoff berth and was named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. However, a significant knee injury at the end of his rookie year affected the trajectory of his career.
After his time with the Redskins, Griffin had stints with the Browns and the Ravens, primarily serving in backup roles. Despite the setbacks in his professional journey, RG3’s impact on the game was evident, especially in how he, along with a few contemporaries, helped usher in a new era of dual-threat quarterbacks in the NFL.
