More quotes by 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
There's a couple things you don't talk about in life, and that's race, religion and politics. I try to make sure I don't talk about politics at all.

Whenever you can relate to the population of the team that you play for, I think it makes it that much more special.
Robert Griffin III
I still don't think it's sunk in that I won the Heisman. I'll be able to reflect back on the season, appreciate those types of things and realize that although I wanted to 'be like Mike' when I was growing up, now I get to go out and be in the NFL.
Robert Griffin III
It's believable because great things don't happen without hard work
Robert Griffin III
As long as I can run fast, track will always be an option. But right now I'm focused on football because the NFL is knocking on my door and I'm not going to slam it in its face.
Robert Griffin III
I hate to talk about myself like that, but if I had to straight up tell a head coach or an owner why they should take me, it's because I'm the best in everything I've done.

When you have fans who are hassling you the entire game and you ignore them, they respect you because their job is to try and distract you. And if they don't distract you, that means you're focused on doing your job. And who knows, by the end, sometimes you even win them over.

Hard work pays off - hard work beats talent any day, but if you're talented and work hard, it's hard to be beat.
Robert Griffin III
A lot of people have already labeled me the Savior.
Robert Griffin III
I'm always studying. I probably wrote the most papers of any college quarterback.
Robert Griffin III
I'd love to play basketball with the president, or throw the football around or something like 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
There's something about football that's exciting. The defense is trying to shut you down and you're trying to blow people up.
Robert Griffin III
In a land of freedom we are held hostage by the tyranny of political correctness.
Robert Griffin III
I don't do too much outside of football during football season, because this is my job and I take it seriously. I don't do too much, don't really go out at all that much, don't eat out or anything, try to stay focused and stay to myself.
Robert Griffin III
My parents raised me to not ever look at race or color, so it doesn't have a big part in my self-identity.
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 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
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.
