The former Washington quarterback discussed his time with the team, his injury and more before the Commanders’ 2023 season opener.
It some ways, it felt as if he’d never left. Robert Griffin III, Washington’s former quarterback and the NFL’s 2012 offensive player of the year, slowly wove his way through the corridors of FedEx Field in his first trip back since he October 2020, when he played for the Baltimore Ravens.A glimpse of him was enough to spark a swarm of fans, who broke out into chants of “R-G-THREE.”
Griffin, the second pick in the 2012 draft, was named the NFL’s offensive rookie of the year and voted to the Pro Bowl that season after throwing for 3,200 yards and 20 touchdowns and running for 815 yards and seven touchdowns. His play helped Washington transform from a 5-11 club the previous season to a 10-6 team that clinched the NFC East title for the first time in 13 years.“This team changed my life,” Griffin said. “...
“I wouldn’t take it back for anything,” Griffin said of his time in Washington. “Everyone asks me would I rather [have] been drafted somewhere else. No, I wouldn’t have, because I wouldn’t be here doing what I’m doing today and have this testimony this year. So, [I’m] really grateful for the city.”Washington released Griffin in the spring of 2016. He signed a two-year deal with the Cleveland Browns later that offseason but was cut after only one season.
“This is becoming a more inclusive environment for all the players to come back and feel comfortable with being back,” Griffin said. “I know I talked to many alumni and they just didn’t feel comfortable coming back to games and supporting the team in any kind of way because of everything that had happened.
