Robert Griffin III, nicknamed RG3, is an American former NFL quarterback born on February 12, 1990, in Okinawa, Japan. Standing 188 cm and weighing 98 kg, he won the Heisman Trophy while playing for the Baylor Bears and was selected second overall in the 2012 NFL Draft.
Griffin set league records for the highest rookie passer rating and touchdown-interception ratio while leading the Washington Redskins to their first division title since 1999, earning Offensive Rookie of the Year and Pro Bowl honors. A severe knee injury in the playoffs derailed his promising career, and he lost his starting position in 2015.
He later played for the Cleveland Browns and spent three seasons as a backup with the Baltimore Ravens. In addition to his football accomplishments, Griffin was also a successful collegiate track and field athlete at Baylor, demonstrating exceptional dual-sport ability.
As of Oct 28, 2026: 400 m hurdles 49.22 (#456 all-time), 2011 season best 21.46 (Apr 30, 2011, Denton, TX (USA)) · 36 years old
