Over the last three years, former Baylor Bears and NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III has won high marks for his work on ESPN. Griffin's obvious enthusiasm in the booth and high football IQ—in addition, it must be noted, to his name recognition—have garnered him prestigious assignments in both the college and pro ranks.
It would be easy for Griffin to button himself up with his TV future seemingly secure, but he has shown no sign of doing so. Here is a man, after all, who split his pants diving into Lake Washington before the Washington Huskies‘ win over the Boise State Broncos on Sept. 2—and one that enjoys the occasional ribald joke.
