The Baltimore Ravens are still hoping to bring back quarterback Robert Griffin III for next season, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic.
Griffin spent the 2018 campaign as the Ravens' third-string quarterback behind Lamar Jackson and Joe Flacco, and with Flacco now out of the picture, Griffin would have a chance to vie for the role of primary backup.
At the moment, Jackson is the only signal-caller on Baltimore's roster, so the chances of the Ravens bringing Griffin back seem pretty high.
There was a time when Griffin was a lot more than just a backup.
The 29-year-old, who played his collegiate football at Baylor University, was originally selected by the Washington Redskins with the second overall pick of the 2012 NFL Draft.
He had a terrific rookie campaign, throwing for 3,200 yards, 20 touchdowns, and just five interceptions while completing 65.6 percent of his passes and registering a passer rating of 102.4 en route to a Pro Bowl appearance.
Griffin also led the Redskins to an unlikely NFC East division title, but during the Wild Card Round of the playoffs, he suffered a severe knee injury that ultimately limited his career.
The following season, Griffin was a mere shell of what he was the previous year, throwing for 3,203 yards, 16 touchdowns, and 12 picks while completing 60.1 percent of his passes and posting a passer rating of 82.2.
He ended up spending just one more year with the Redskins before being released, and he then made his way to the Cleveland Browns. Griffin started just five games for the Browns due to more injuries and found himself out of the league in 2017 before the Ravens signed him last spring.
