Robert Griffin III

Imagine a Quarterback who runs a 4.4 40 time.No, not Michael Vick or Vince Young.
Now, imagine a Quarterback who has a 78.6 completion percentage.
No, not Drew Brees or Chad Pennington.
Imagine a Quarterback who can gun a football downfield with great accuracy.
No, he is not Tom Brady or Ben Roethlisberger.
Imagine that this quarterback has the best work ethic in college football. He also has the character and good sense to stay out of trouble.
No, he is not Tim Tebow.
Imagine he is a straight A, honor roll student, who already has a degree and is planning on starting his law degree next fall.
No, this is not a young Steve Young.
If you are anything like me, you probably are skeptical of this Quarterback existing, or that he must have been overhyped.
Well I’m here to tell everyone that the 6’2’’ 220 lbs. Junior Quarterback from Baylor University, Robert Griffin III, is truly what he sounds like, a possible once in a generation pro prospect.
And I don’t mean like the way Michael Vick was, as he turned out to be the first of about seven in a generation, with guys like Vince Young, Aaron Rodgers, Tim Tebow, Cam Newton, and Ryan Fitzpatrick, stealing his thunder of being a running quarterback in the NFL.This Kid can run, but he can also throw it extremely well. He has one of the most coveted natural throwing motions in a pro prospect.
His high delivery, allows him to throw it over tall defensive linemen. Also it complements his cannon arm.
But the thing about RG3 is he can not only run it, he can not only throw it deep, but he can throw the timing routes, he can hit the intermediate routes, and he can almost always fit it into the tight windows necessary to complete deep fly routes.
A quarterback who can make all of the throws is an extremely rare talent in College Football today.
As of his 4th game in the 2011 season he had more touchdown passes than incompletions and had not thrown a single interception yet. As of his 6th game he has a 78 percent completion percentage, missing only 40 of his 182 pass attempts.
He also has thrown 20 touchdowns and only 2 interceptions.
But the thing that really stands out about this kid is his strength of character, and his leadership qualities.

RG3 takes the practice field, wearing his lime green teenage mutant ninja turtles tube socks and matching“turtles don’t do drugs” T-shirt.
This is a typical occurence on the Baylor practice field. Robert has a sock collection only a preschooler could love. His collection includes Scooby Doo, Cookie Monster, Elmo, Angry Birds, and Sponge bob.He said in an interview “I have enough different types[of tube socks] that I can wear a different pair every day for two months.”
And while usually a Heisman canidate quarterback's choice in socks doesn't shed much light on his character, in this case it does.This is very good insight into the mind of RG3. For one, I thing that his socks are his form of rebellion. And while some guys are smoking pot, some guys are getting blitzed; he wears lime green ninja turtle socks.
He has said he doesn’t care what people think of him, he does whatever he has to do and holds himself to his own high standards. Rather he has to make an A, complete a pass, lift another weight, or buy another pair of cartoon character tube socks. It is also evident he doesn't care about what people think of how he looks with those lime green socks.
He has earned his degree in political science after three years, and is staying through his Senior year to get credit towards his law degree.
Despite all of the accolades and praise he gets, he still remains a humble yet confident leader.
He is a devout Christian and has spoken in many interviews about his faith and personal relationship with God, drawing yet another comparison to Tim Tebow.
The thing about him is, he is like Tim Tebow in very many respects from what I can tell, but he is better than Tim Tebow, and I am a supporter of Tim Tebow.If he stays on the straight and narrow, and I see no evidence that he won’t, he could be one of the greatest college quarterbacks in the history of the NCAA, and possibly in NFL history as well.
And when he does go into the draft, I think he should be a top 10 draft pick, if not the number one overall pick.
In fact I will go on record now and say this kid has got something special and barring a huge setback or catastrophic injury, will be a hugely successful starting quarterback in the NFL.RG3 should also win the Heisman this year, and if he doesn’t, he will have been robbed or injured.
All in all, I think Baylor fans actually have a reason to watch football this year, next year, and possibly the year after
