He played college football at Baylor, where he won the 2011 Heisman Trophy. He was drafted by the Washington Redskins second overall in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft, who traded up to get him. Griffin had a successful rookie season with the Redskins, setting records for the highest passer rating and highest touchdown to interception ratio by a rookie quarterback, and leading the Redskins to the top of their division and their first playoff appearance in five seasons. He won the 2012 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award and although unable to participate due to a knee injury he suffered late in the season, was named to enter the 2013 Pro Bowl. However, Griffin was less successful during his subsequent tenure with the Redskins as he was plagued by injuries and poor performance. After suffering a concussion during the 2015 preseason, Griffin was replaced by Kirk Cousins who played the rest of the season. He was released by the team following the end of the season, and signed shortly after with the Cleveland Browns. His tenure with the Browns was also plagued with injuries, and he was subsequently released after one season. After spending the entire 2017 season as a free agent, Griffin signed a one - year deal with the Ravens in 2018.

The family later lived at Fort Lewis near Tacoma, Washington, and then moved to New Orleans, Louisiana. They finally settled in Copperas Cove, Texas in 1997 after retiring from the military. Griffin 's paternal grandfather, Robert Griffin Sr., was a foreman for a New Orleans construction company. He suffered from glaucoma for several years, and died in 1984 at age 43 from a brain aneurysm. Financial hardship caused the family to move to the Desire Projects neighborhood.

During the college recruiting period, Griffin was pursued by Stanford, Tennessee, Kansas, Nebraska, Houston, Tulsa, Illinois, Washington State, and Oregon. Griffin initially committed to play for Houston under head coach Art Briles. When Briles left Houston to take the head coaching position at Baylor, Griffin switched his commitment and eventually signed a letter of intent to play for Baylor, in part because the university also had a top track and field program.

Baylor finished the season with a 4 -- 8 record ( 1 -- 7 Big 12 ). 2010 season See also : 2010 Baylor Bears football team Griffin was granted redshirt status so he entered the 2010 season as a sophomore. According to the bylaws, players who are injured after playing less than 30 percent of the season may be eligible ( Griffin was injured during the third game of the 2009 season, with 25 percent of the season completed ). Overall, he finished the season with 3,501 passing yards, 22 passing touchdowns, eight interceptions, and had 149 rushes for 635 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns. Baylor finished the season with a 7 -- 6 record ( 4 -- 4 Big 12 ). 2011 season See also : 2011 Baylor Bears football team Coming into the 2011 season, the Baylor Bears were not expected to do well, being picked 6th in the Big 12 preseason poll. The Bears opened the season against 15th - ranked TCU. The Bears took a 47 -- 23 lead into the 4th quarter, and were able to fight off a comeback after the Horned Frogs gained the lead 48 -- 47 briefly, only for Baylor to kick the game - winning field goal and win 50 -- 48. They pulled off the upset in large part due to Griffin 's performance ; he passed for 359 yards, with 5 touchdowns and a 77.8 % completion percentage. On the game - winning drive, Griffin also caught a key pass. Following the win, Baylor entered the AP Poll rankings for only the third time in the previous 15 seasons, at 20th, and Griffin was considered by many to be a Heisman Trophy candidate. After a bye week, Baylor shut out Stephen F. Austin State University 48 -- 0, and Griffin went 20 of 22 ( 90.9 % ) for 247 yards and 3 touchdowns and ran for 78 yards.

In week six against Iowa State, Griffin took Baylor to Iowa for their fourth win, completing 22 out of 30 ( 73.3 % ) for 212 yards, 1 touchdown, and no interceptions. He won the Heisman Trophy, becoming the first player from Baylor to win it. Griffin also led Baylor to a 10 -- 3 record, including a 67 -- 56 win over the Washington Huskies in the Alamo Bowl.

By midseason, however, he had drawn the attention of NFL scouts and analysts, and some started projecting he would be an early first round selection. Towards the end of his junior season, Griffin had established himself as the No. 2 quarterback prospect for the 2012 NFL Draft, behind the unanimous first pick projection Andrew Luck. Griffin was widely projected to be the No. 2 pick of the draft, but the St. Louis Rams -- the team originally holding the pick -- had already selected Sam Bradford to be their long - term starting quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. Wanting to stick with Bradford, the Rams decided to deal the pick prior to the draft, with the Cleveland Browns and Washington Redskins perceived as the most interested bidders. After a brief bidding process, the Redskins acquired the pick by giving the Rams four high - value draft picks over three years : their first - round picks in 2012 ( No. 6 overall ), 2013 ( No. 22 overall ), and 2014 ( No. 2 overall ), as well as their second - round pick ( No. 39 overall ) in 2012. Washington Redskins 2012 season Griffin during Redskins training camp in 2012 As expected, the Redskins selected Griffin with the second overall pick, making him the second Baylor Bear to be drafted that high in four years ( after Jason Smith in 2009 ), but the first Baylor quarterback to be chosen second overall since Adrian Burk in 1950. Griffin wore number 10 for the Redskins, with `` Griffin III '' on the back of his jersey. This made him the first player in the history of the `` Big Four '' professional sports leagues ( NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA ) to have a Roman numeral on the back of his jersey, as the NFL changed the rule in 2012 to allow players to include generational titles in their names. Griffin previously had `` Griffin III '' on the back of his jersey while in college, which was actually necessary in order to distinguish him from the other Robert Griffin on the Baylor team. On July 18, 2012, the Redskins officially signed him to a four - year, $21.1 million contract with a $13.8 million signing bonus. On September 9, 2012, Griffin officially became the NFL 's first starting quarterback who was born in the 1990s. In his official debut as a starting quarterback in the NFL, Griffin opened the Redskins ' season by completing 19 of 26 passes for 320 yards and 2 touchdowns while adding 10 carries for 42 rushing yards in a 40 -- 32 victory over the New Orleans Saints. He was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week for his performance -- the first time in NFL history that a rookie quarterback has been given that honor for his debut game. Griffin 's debut performance was further rewarded after he was named NFL Rookie of the Week, and he was given that honor once again after the Redskins ' win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4. On October 4, he was named September 's NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month. The next week against the Atlanta Falcons, he left the game late in the third quarter after suffering a mild concussion after receiving a blow to the head by Sean Weatherspoon. He was cleared to play in the next game against the Minnesota Vikings, where he had another impressive performance that included a 76 - yard rushing touchdown. The Redskins ended their home - game losing streak and Griffin was named NFL Rookie of the Week for a third time. On November 14 during the Redskins ' bye week, the team voted Griffin an offensive co-captain. Following the Redskins ' 31 -- 6 victory against the Philadelphia Eagles, he was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week for a second time. Griffin 's performance -- passing for 200 yards with 4 touchdowns, rushing for an additional 84 yards, and finishing with a perfect 158.3 passer rating -- made him the first rookie in NFL history to pass for 200 yards, pass for 4 touchdowns and rush for more than 75 yards in a single game. Along with that achievement, his performance against the Eagles made him the youngest player in NFL history, at 22 years and 284 days old, to achieve a perfect passer rating in a game. This record stood until 2015, when Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota threw for a perfect passer rating at 21 years and 318 days old in his debut. In the Week 14 game against the Baltimore Ravens on December 9, the Redskins would suffer another injury scare when defensive end Haloti Ngata hit Griffin directly at his right knee, twisting it in the process. On the final drive of the fourth quarter, Griffin was tackled after rushing for 13 yards and hopped on one leg for several plays before leaving the game. Backup quarterback Kirk Cousins would come in the game and lead the Redskins to a 31 -- 28, overtime victory. The next day it was confirmed that Griffin had sustained a Grade 1 LCL sprain. It was decided that Griffin would sit out the next game against the Cleveland Browns to give him more time to heal and avoid the chance of further injuries. He returned the next game and led the Redskins to another victory over the Eagles in Week 16. The knee injury emerged as a controversy on January 6, the day the Redskins faced the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC wild card game, when USA Today reported that -- contrary to a previous statement made by Head Coach Mike Shanahan -- Dr. James Andrews had not cleared Griffin to return for the post-injury plays in the December 9 game. Griffin then re-injured his knee in the wild card loss to the Seahawks. Griffin underwent surgery on January 9 and both his LCL and ACL were repaired. For the season, Griffin set records for highest passer rating by a rookie quarterback ( 102.4 ) and highest touchdown to interception ratio ( 4 : 1 ) ( Both since broken by Dak Prescott ). Aside from the week 15 game against the Cleveland Browns where he did not play, Griffin played a vital role in helping the Redskins finish the regular season on a 7 - game winning streak after starting the season 3 -- 6, leading the team to its first playoff appearance since the 2007 season. On December 26, Griffin was named to enter the 2013 Pro Bowl in recognition of his successful rookie season. Due to injuries on his ACL and LCL ligaments in his right knee, he was negated from the Pro Bowl roster and replaced by Drew Brees. Griffin also won the 2012 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award. 2013 season Griffin on a read - option run during a game against the Eagles in 2013 After some controversy over whether Griffin would be ready for the season opener ( he did not play a single preseason game ), he debuted in the loss to Philadelphia Eagles. Griffin failed to replicate his 2012 success during the first half of the 2013 season and remained statistically below expectations until Washington 's Week 7 game against the Chicago Bears. Leading the Redskins to a 45 -- 41 victory, Griffin recorded 298 passing yards and two touchdowns, including a 45 - yard touchdown pass to Aldrick Robinson. The Redskins ' 27 -- 6 loss against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12 was the first game in Griffin 's collegiate and professional career where he failed to score a single offensive touchdown. On December 11, head coach Mike Shanahan announced that Griffin would be inactive for last three games of the season and that Kirk Cousins would finish the season as the starter. He claimed that it was done in order to eliminate risk of further injury to Griffin. He finished the 2013 season with 3,203 passing yards, 16 passing touchdowns, and 12 interceptions to go along with 86 carries for 489 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown. 2014 season Griffin in 2014 with the Washington Redskins On September 14, 2014, in Week 2, against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Griffin was carted off the field after suffering a dislocated left ankle. X-rays and MRIs revealed no fractures in the ankle. On October 29, it was reported that Griffin was set to return against the Minnesota Vikings in week 9. The Redskins then dropped their next three games, falling to the Vikings, Buccaneers, and 49ers. On November 25, it was reported that Griffin would be benched for Colt McCoy, heading into Sunday 's game against the Indianapolis Colts. After McCoy went down with a neck injury against the New York Giants, Griffin came in and looked impressive in a loss to the Giants, throwing for 236 yards and 1 touchdown passing. Griffin was named the starter for the rest of the year when the Redskins put Colt McCoy on injured reserve. Griffin responded to that with a winning performance in a 27 -- 24 victory over the Eagles. He threw for 220 yards and had one interception. In the final game of the year against the Cowboys, Griffin showed strides of his rookie year. He threw for a season - high 336 yards and had 2 touchdowns ( one passing, one rushing ) in a 44 -- 17 loss. Griffin was 2 -- 5 as a starter in 2014 and the Redskins finished 4 -- 12 and last place in their division. 2015 season During Week 2 of preseason in a win over the Detroit Lions, Griffin fumbled the ball and recovered it but had a defensive lineman fall on top of him. Griffin suffered a concussion in the process and was questionable for the next game against the Ravens. Griffin was medically cleared for the game by a physician, but a few days later the same physician declared Griffin not ready for the game, thus giving backup Kirk Cousins the start. After the win over the Ravens, Cousins was named the starter for the regular season opener and onward. On September 13, 2015, it was reported that Griffin was practicing as a safety with the scout team. He ended up third on the quarterback depth chart, behind Cousins and Colt McCoy, and remained inactive for the entire regular season. On March 7, 2016, Griffin was released by the Redskins. Cleveland Browns Griffin in 2016 On March 24, 2016, Griffin signed a two - year, $15 million contract with the Cleveland Browns. On August 8, 2016, Browns head coach Hue Jackson named Griffin the team 's starting quarterback for the 2016 season. Griffin was placed on injured reserve on September 12, after suffering a shoulder injury in the Browns ' season opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He was activated off injured reserve on December 9, 2016, prior to Week 14 against the Bengals. Griffin played in five games, all starts, in 2016, completing 87 - of - 147 passes for 886 yards and 2 touchdowns with 3 interceptions. He also rushed for 190 yards and two touchdowns. On March 10, 2017, Griffin was released by the Browns. Baltimore Ravens On April 4, 2018, Griffin signed a one - year contract with the Baltimore Ravens. On September 2, 2018, Griffin was named the team 's backup quarterback.

On July 2, 2017, Griffin announced via Instagram the birth of their daughter, Gloria Griffin. The couple married on March 10, 2018. Griffin grew up a fan of the Denver Broncos and Mike Shanahan, whom he played under for his first two seasons with the Redskins. Griffin is a Protestant Christian, and has said his relationship with God is his `` most important influence. '' Before the start of his rookie season with the Redskins, Griffin had signed a number of endorsement deals from companies such as Adidas, Castrol Motor Oil, EA Sports, EvoShield, Gatorade, Nissan, and Subway. According to ESPN 's Dollars blog, Griffin had `` earned more than any other rookie in NFL history before throwing his first regular - season pass, '' largely as a result of endorsements.
