Robert Griffin III still has one more preseason game to play, but we’ve seen enough to know what the Ravens can get out of him. Here is Griffin III’s preseason grade:
Robert Griffin III made himself known as a legitimate NFL quarterback again, which means his mission is all but accomplished. Griffin III spent a year away from football and now has a chance to be Joe Flacco’s understudy. The Ravens drafted Lamar Jackson in the first round and Griffin III still has a chance to be the number two quarterback in Baltimore. That tells you everything you need to know about how the preseason has gone for Griffin III.
After taking a look at four preseason games of action, and the numbers he put up in said games, it’s time to grade Griffin III. One thing that helped the former number two overall pick, is that he had little to work with in most of his preseason snaps. Griffin III was a clear leader when he was on the field. With that in mind it’s grading time.
Should the Ravens keep three quarterbacks?
The answer to the question above is yes. Lamar Jackson needs a mentor, RGIII needs a job and the Ravens need a proven backup behind Joe Flacco. Robert Griffin III has earned a roster spot, and you have to think the Ravens get that.
