Quarterback Robert Griffin III has gotten another shot to reboot his career after latching onto the Baltimore Ravens on a one-year deal this offseason.
This has been an ongoing process for Griffin that saw him be out of the league in two out of the last three years that tested his passion for the game. Despite all that, the 28-year-old has voiced this hasn't wavered his love for the game of football in any fashion, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN.

They lose their love for the game. They lose their passion.”
Griffin then added, “I’m not going to quit. I’m not going to give up. I haven’t lost my passion for the game.”
Griffin is in an intriguing situation as he possibly finds himself as the third wheel in the spot where starter Joe Flacco has had his long-term future with the franchise while rookie Lamar Jackson is lingering in the picture as the possible long-term option under center.
Aside from that, this is a chance for him to prove that he can still be a viable NFL quarterback that could continue his career elsewhere if things don't necessarily work out in Baltimore. The preseason will be his chance to show what he can bring to the table as he showed that he is still a capable option under center throwing for 58 yards on 7-of-11 completed passes with a touchdown and an interception.
These next few weeks could be indicative of where he stands with the franchise heading into the 2018 season.
