Robert Griffin III last played in the NFL in 2020 with the Baltimore Ravens. Since, he has begun a transition into the broadcast booth. In an impressive first year with ESPN, Griffin showed promise in storytelling but he still eyes a shot in the NFL.
“I still love to play,” began RGIII, “but right now I am just focused on doing the best as I can as a storyteller and giving back to football as much as I can.”
RGIII told Christopher Williams of KWTX in Waco, Texas that he is still working out but not just his throwing motion.
“Sometimes we don’t know that God has a calling for us in a certain area until we do it. This is something that has been natural for me. Now, I just feel like it is on me and the people around me to continue to hold me accountable to be the guy that I know that I am. To be a storyteller. To tell guy’s stories the right way. That is a big point of emphasis for me. I am trying to aid these guys and give back to the sport – not take away from it. It is not about me, it is about the guys that are playing.”
The former NFL Rookie of the Year has been all over the network’s football coverage with College Gameday and NFL Live and more. It’s pretty clear that ESPN likes what they have with him. However, if he gets that call from an NFL team?
“I am ready to go right now. I train every day. I throw and workout. I know what it takes to get my body ready and I am doing those things. Yes, it is a little bit tougher when you are flying around everywhere doing stuff for TV, but when you really want something, you make it work. So, if I get that call this year, next year, or five years from now I will be ready to play”
