Spoke with Pep Hamilton, who has been working with RGIII. Emphasized how healthy Griffin has been, say ball is flying out of his hand.

Pep Hamilton made a good point about #Chargers coach Anthony Lynn: Did well in 2016 with Tyrod Taylor. RGIII has similarities. Could backup

The Baylor product had an incredible rookie season with the Washington Redskins, but injuries quickly derailed his career. He bounced over to the Cleveland Browns last season, but injuries again destroyed his season.
RGIII has had one of the most disappointing professional quarterback careers in recent memory. I remember watching him rip apart defenses for Baylor during my sophomore year of college. I couldn’t have cared less about Big 12 football or Baylor. Big 12 football is consistently among some of the most garbage football out there. No defense and offenses incapable of running the ball isn’t exactly my cup of tea. I’ll take the Big Ten playing power football in the snow any day of the week.
However, RGIII was so electric I had to tune in. Hopefully he finds a way to bounce back and have an NFL career. If there’s even a one percent chance he returns to his former self, then I’m interested.
