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
I know I'm the No. 1 quarterback for the Washington Redskins, and that's all that matters in my heart. That's all I wanted. I wanted a team that wanted me, and I found that.
Robert Griffin III
I'm always studying. I probably wrote the most papers of any college quarterback.
Robert Griffin III
I'm a military kid, both parents in the military - Mom did 12 years, Dad did 21, served in two wars. So discipline is something that was huge.
Robert Griffin III
People would say I'm more polished as a passer than Tebow and Cam, but I'm not as physical a runner. But I am 6'2, 223, and I can throw with the best of them.
Robert Griffin III
Man, I love the Lord of the Rings movies. Some people would say I'm weird for liking those types of movies, but they are so cool.

I try to go through my reads and then, if I have the option to run, I do run.
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
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
My job is to build that belief in every coach and every owner, that they can put the franchise in my hands and I can take it uphill from there. Obviously, everyone wants to be No. 1, but I'm not going to campaign. I'm just going to go out and show what I've got.
Robert Griffin III
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.
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
For me, you don't ever want to be defined by the color of your skin. You want to be defined by your work ethic, the person that you are, your character, your personality. That's what I've tried to go out and do.
Robert Griffin III
It's not something to complain about, but just the major difference between college and the pros is that in college you're guaranteed four to five years so long as you don't do anything criminally and in the pros you're guaranteed one day because you can be cut the next.
Robert Griffin III
A lot of people have already labeled me the Savior.
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
Whoever I can go out every week and motivate to do better and to try to go after their dreams, I'm up for that.
Robert Griffin III
There's a fine line between playing with fear and then taking bad plays and playing with no fear.
Robert Griffin III
For me, a quarterback's best friend, especially a young quarterback's best friend, is a coach who believes in him.
