Kirk Herbstreit Reacts To The Robert Griffin III, ESPN News

A decade ago, Kirk Herbstreit of College GameDay watched Robert Griffin III‘s magical Heisman season at Baylor. 10 years later, the two will work together at ESPN.

Griffin III is the newest member of the Worldwide Leader. He’s signed a multi-year agreement with ESPN as a college football and NFL analyst. He’ll be in the broadcast booth for a weekly college football game on ESPN or ABC and will also provide coverage for the College Football Playoff and Super Bowl.

This is a monumental step in Griffin III’s career. Many believe the former Heisman winner has a long and bright career ahead in the sports media world. Herbstreit agrees.

The College GameDay analyst and ESPN commentator is “fired up” for Griffin III to be joining the team.

“Fired up to welcome @RGIII to our team!,” Herbstreit said on Twitter. “His experience as a player, his passion for the college game, and his wit and intelligence will make him an incredible addition! Fired up bro! Welcome.”

Getting such a special message from Kirk Herbstreit has to be a good feeling. Robert Griffin III thanked Herbie for his thoughtful message.

ESPN’s RG3 addition is a no-brainer. He has immense playing experience both at the college and professional level. He reportedly nailed his multiple auditions, as well.

Griffin III’s passion for the college game should be a major boost for ESPN’s coverage in coming years. We can’t wait.
