The Washington Redskins acquired quarterback Case Keenum in a trade with the Denver Broncos on Thursday, and afterward, former Redskins signal-caller Robert Griffin III had a rather interesting reaction:
Griffin now plays for the Baltimore Ravens, but we all remember the 2012 campaign when he took the NFL world by storm during his rookie campaign in Washington.
That season, Griffin threw for 3,200 yards, 20 touchdowns, and five interceptions while completing 65.6 percent of his passes and registering a passer rating of 102.4 in leading the Redskins to a surprising NFC East division title.
However, in the Redskins' Wild Card Round playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks, Griffin suffered a devastating knee injury that ruined his NFL career.
He was never the same from that point forward, and in 2014, he was supplanted as the starter by Kirk Cousins. Griffin's tenure in Washington came to an end after that.
The 29-year-old then made his way to the Cleveland Browns for one season, where he started all of five games due to a shoulder injury.
Griffin was then released by the Browns in March 2017 and was out of the NFL entirely for the 2017 campaign, but in April 2018, he signed with the Ravens and spent this past season as the team's third-string quarterback.
Obviously, Griffin is still not happy about the way his time with the Redskins ended.
Washington will enter the 2019 season with Keenum and Colt McCoy battling for the quarterback job, as Alex Smith will likely miss the entire year while he recovers from a broken leg.
