In his first NFL action since 2016, RGIII was solid for the Baltimore Ravens in the 2018 Hall of Fame Game.
Wisley, the Baltimore Ravens didn’t let Joe Flacco step on the field in pads for the NFL Hall of Fame Game, which meant RGIII got the starting job on Thursday night against the Chicago Bears. As much excitement surrounded Lamar Jackson’s debut, many were intrigued to watch Griffin’s comeback campaign. The former NFL Rookie of the Year sat out of football for the entire 2017 season before signing a one-year deal with the Ravens this offseason.
Here’s a look at my grade on Griffin’s performance for the night.
It may just be preseason football but Griffin did what was asked of him tonight and it’s not worth over analyzing from such a small sample size so far.
Flacco will get limited reps in the next four games, giving Griffin extended looks under center. He’s entering the most important audition of his career – for the Ravens and for the rest of the 31 teams that may be interested.
