Robert Lee Griffin III (born February 12, 1990), nicknamed RGIII or RG3, is an American former professional football quarterback who played in the National Football League (NFL) for eight seasons, most notably with the Washington Redskins. He played college football for the Baylor Bears, winning the Heisman Trophy as a senior, and was selected second overall by the Washington Redskins in the 2012 NFL draft.

Griffin set league records for the highest rookie passer rating and touchdown–interception ratio, while leading the Redskins to their first division title since 1999, earning him Offensive Rookie of the Year and Pro Bowl honors. Following a severe knee injury he suffered in the playoffs, Griffin was unable to duplicate his success and lost his starting position in 2015 to Kirk Cousins. He signed with the Cleveland Browns in 2016, but his tenure was also afflicted by injuries, resulting in his release at the end of the season. After a year in free agency, he joined the Baltimore Ravens in 2018 and played his last three seasons as a backup.
