Robert Griffin III Has Reportedly Landed A New Job
Veteran NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III has reportedly landed a new job – out of the league.
According to a report from NFL Network, the former top NFL Draft pick has accepted an analyst job with ESPN.
Griffin, 31, was reportedly being pursued by multiple networks. The New York Post reported on the bidding war for RG3 earlier this summer:
ESPN has upped its offer after Fox showed heavy interest in Griffin as an NFL and college football analyst. Now both networks are waiting to see whether Griffin will try to play again or retires from the NFL to move into TV. Even if Griffin does decide to play, TV will be waiting for him when he ultimately retires. (Outkick first reported ESPN’s and Fox’s interest in Griffin.)
Griffin has reportedly decided on ESPN.
“Veteran free agent QB and budding broadcasting talent Robert Griffin III is headed to ESPN, source said. He still wants to play and has an out in his contract if opportunity arises. But he’s a broadcaster now with a very high ceiling,” Ian Rapoport reports.

The Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback has been in the league since 2012. He was the Rookie of the Year and a Pro Bowler in Washington. Griffin played for Baltimore from 2018-20.
Now, RG3 will get into the sports media game.
