At just 32 years old, Robert Griffin III is still young for a quarterback. That’s why he’s yet to rule out a return to the NFL.
The second overall pick in the 2012 draft hasn’t played in the league since 2020 and now serves as one of ESPN’s main personalities for College Football and the NFL. Nonetheless, he is still training each and every day in the hope a call will come his way.
“I am ready to go right now,” Griffin told Christopher Williams of KWTX. “I train every day. I throw and work out. 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.”
Don’t forget, RG3 just ran an unofficial 4.48 40-yard dash at Rich Eisen’s charity event. that would make him one of the fastest NFL quarterbacks in the league right now.
Griffin last served as Lamar Jackson’s backup on the Baltimore Ravens but they waived him in January of last year. While a starting role is highly unlikely, getting a training camp roster spot is possible where he’d then be able to fight for a potential second or third-string role.
At this point, Robert Griffin III is probably making more money on TV, but his love for the game has never wavered. He’s still determined to make an NFL comeback, no matter how hard the road is. Will anyone give him an opportunity? Only time will tell.
