It seems Robert Griffin III will get another shot at the quarterback life. The 2012 Offensive Rookie of the Year has been signed after a season of inactivity.
In what shocked many fans the Baltimore Ravens picked up RGIII for a one-year deal. This came as a shocker to many considering the former starter hasn’t played in a game since his struggle season with the Cleveland Browns in 2016.
General Manager Ozzie Newsome made the surprise announcement at their pre-draft press conference. “He came in last week, worked out — had a real good workout — and we were able to come to an agreement late yesterday. He will probably be here early next week to sign the deal.”
Griffin will back up starter Joe Flacco. Coach John Harbaugh was also excited about the roster addition. “We felt like we needed a No. 2 quarterback [behind Joe Flacco],” he said. “I feel like we got a steal. I felt like he really wanted to be here, be a Raven” he explained.
The former Washington Washington Football Team star took to social media share in the excitement.

This signing comes at a very peculiar time as both Newsome and Harbaugh will face questioning today in the Colin Kaepernick collusion grievance against the NFL.
