Robert Griffin III suggests NFL comeback amid Falcons QB struggles
Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III has expressed interest in returning to the league, specifically suggesting he could provide veteran stability to the Atlanta Falcons. Following the Falcons' 34-3 loss to the Carolina Panthers, Griffin noted the poor performance of Atlanta's quarterbacks, Cooper Rush and undrafted rookie Jack Strand.
Griffin, 36, argued on social media that teams facing quarterback injuries should consider veteran presences like himself, Cam Newton, Jimmy Garoppolo, or Ryan Tannehill to stabilize their rosters. Griffin's last professional appearance was in December 2020 while playing for the Baltimore Ravens. His career includes a Pro Bowl season with the Washington Commanders and time spent with the Cleveland Browns.
