With RGIII’s football future up in the air, getting a job with ESPN is a great decision. For as much as I knock the network for doing stupid stuff, it’s still the biggest sports network in the game.
RGIII is a Heisman winner and former second overall pick. The man knows his football and he’s incredibly charismatic.
I have no doubt at all that he’s going to be great on TV.
