RGIII is the real deal

By: Michael Tellier

Robert Griffin III is without a doubt the real deal.  Now I’m sure that I’m not telling people anything they don’t already know, but this guy’s toughness needs to be recognized.

After seeing the rookie QB struggle with pain down the stretch of last season, I saw the resiliency in him.  I’m not sure that there are too many rookies’ out there that would have played through the injury that he had; not to mention the fact that he was doing more than competing, he was winning.

Last month Griffin III was asked if he would be healthy enough to start training camp, and he responded “without a doubt.” However, I had my doubts.

However, those doubts are gone now.  According to a source, the sophomore QB has been doing very well.  His long speed is back, he cuts well and there is no sign of a limp when he walks.  The source also said that he wasn’t sure what test the team’s medical group has put RGIII through, but whatever it was “he completely smashes it.”   The Redskins organization has also said that they are “astonished” by his progress.

So for all you fantasy football players out there, if you were thinking about not drafting RGIII because of his injury last season, I would rethink that.
