Robert Lee Griffin III (born February 12, 1990), nicknamed RG3, is an American football quarterback who is currently a free agent. He played college football at Baylor, where he won the 2011 Heisman Trophy. He was drafted by the Washington Redskins second overall in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft.
Griffin had a successful rookie season with Washington, setting records for the highest passer rating and highest touchdown to interception ratio by a rookie quarterback, and leading the Redskins to the top of their division and their first playoff appearance in five seasons. He won the 2012 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award and although unable to participate due to injury, was named to enter the 2013 Pro Bowl. However, Griffin was less successful during his subsequent tenure with the Redskins, and his performance was plagued by injuries. After suffering a concussion during the 2015 preseason, Griffin was replaced by Kirk Cousins and remained benched for the rest of the year. He was released by the Redskins following the end of the season and signed with the Cleveland Browns shortly after.
Griffin was born in Okinawa, Japan, where his parents, Robert Jr. and Jacqueline, both U.S. Army sergeants, were stationed. The family later lived at Fort Lewis near Tacoma, Washington, and then moved to New Orleans, Louisiana. They finally settled in Copperas Cove, Texas in 1997 after retiring from the military.
