Robert Griffin III
Baylor
Ht. 6-2 Wt. 220
Arm Strength: Griffin has a live arm that is capable of making every NFL throw. He throws on the run as well as any quarterback in the draft. He is capable of throwing into tight windows with accuracy.
Accuracy: His accuracy has been remarkably better as the seasons went on at Baylor. Griffin has a compact delivery that allows him to get the ball out of hand quickly. His stride is shorter than in the past and has clearly put in a ton of work in this area. He excels at throwing receivers open. His accuracy may be the most improved part of an ever improving game with Griffin III.
Athleticism: Griffin was a semifinalist at the Olympic Trials in the 400 hurdles following high school. He’s a nightmare for defenses in space with his speed and agility. More important than his raw speed, is his ability to throw on the run. His vision downfield while on the run is impeccable and makes him so dangerous.
Intangibles: Griffin is a dean’s list student at Baylor and prepping for Law School. Our bet is that he doesn’t make it to Law School with a promising NFL future ahead. Either way he has the book smarts to do so if he wishes. Griffin is a student of the game. He has been lauded by coaches and teammates for his leadership abilities on and off the field and his work in the film room. Because of Baylor’s system Griffin will be a little behind in terms of reading defenses and interpreting a complex offensive system
Bottom Line: Griffin III may have the highest ceiling of any prospect not named Andrew Luck. He’s a Top 5 pick and capable of starting immediately for an NFL team. Teams such as Cleveland, Washington, Miami, and Seattle will all be making attempts to leapfrog one another to get to Griffin. With Griffin’s combination of arm talent, athleticism, and football IQ the sky is the limit.
Draft Projection: Griffin is a top 5 pick that may be selected right behind Andrew Luck with a team looking to leapfrog Cleveland.
