One thing my dad always told me, was he would make sure I always had what he didn't have. He couldn't play basketball because he didn't have tennis shoes - so I had five pairs of tennis shoes.

More quotes by Robert Griffin III
There's far more that goes into being a professional athlete than being a college athlete. So many differences that people don't realize. It's not just about playing football and getting paid to do it. There's a lot of things that you have to deal with.
Robert Griffin III
You can be a catalyst for change but change never really entirely happens just because of one guy.
Robert Griffin III
I try to go through my reads and then, if I have the option to run, I do run.
Robert Griffin III
I want to be one of the guys, but I also want to be 'the' guy, the guy that can go out there and they can rely on in crunch time. I'm going to be the guy that they know will show up every day, every game, every play and show up on a consistently great level.
Robert Griffin III
You don't have to go out there and fit the mold of what a quarterback is supposed to be. Make your own mold and do the best at each role. If you can run with the best and throw with the best, you can be the best quarterback in your own version of the position.
Robert Griffin III
The speed will increase and the players will be better, but also the players around you will be a lot better. It all cancels itself out.
Robert Griffin III
I try to keep my confidence on the charts, but I'm a confident guy as well. You've got to be that way. If you don't think that you're the best, then you won't perform that way.
Robert Griffin III
I think if you're a good high school player that you have the ability to be a good college football player. If you're a good college football then you have the ability to be a great NFL player.
Robert Griffin III
Last time I checked I was able to throw the ball a little bit.
Robert Griffin III
The Redskins haven't won the division since 1999, and we came in and we did it in one year!
Robert Griffin III
I don't picture myself as a normal person when I play football, and I don't think anyone else pictures me that way as well.
Robert Griffin III
If you say you're going to do something, you do it. If you start it, you finish it. Yes sir, no ma'am. And you've got to have that kind of structure in your life. It kind of helped me be that disciplined person that I am, whether it's with workouts, film or just the game of football.
Robert Griffin III
I am an African-American in America. That will never change. But I don't have to be defined by that.
Robert Griffin III
I grew up in the military. I've lived that life. I know that our soldiers are out there fighting for our right to vote, and they're out there fighting for other countries' rights to vote... Guys have been dying for it, and we have to go out and exercise it.
Robert Griffin III
I don't play too much into the color game, because I don't want to be the best African American quarterback, I want to be the best quarterback.
Robert Griffin III
As a quarterback, obviously, you're going to be put in the forefront whether you like it or not, and if you're not then you're not doing your job.
Robert Griffin III
It's believable because great things don't happen without hard work
Robert Griffin III
There's just a misconception that comes with being a dual-threat quarterback. You run first, throw second. I've proven I throw first and then run if I have to.
Robert Griffin III
You always give credit where credit is due - to high school coaches, college coaches - but my dad, the foundation that he built with me, is where all of this came from. The speed, the determination, the mindset, just the natural belief that you can do anything you put your mind to, it all comes from my dad.
Robert Griffin III
In a land of freedom we are held hostage by the tyranny of political correctness.
