NFL Veteran Robert Griffin III Throws His Hat in the Ring, Advises Browns to Sign Him as Starting QB Post Deshaun Watson’s Season-Ending Injury

The Cleveland Browns will be playing the remainder of the season without their star quarterback Deshaun Watson who suffered a shoulder fracture in their last game against the Baltimore Ravens. But as the Browns go through various QB prospects, ESPN’s analyst Robert Griffin III suggests that he could make the perfect starting QB for the Browns this season.?

It’s a seeking season for the Browns who need to find a rookie QB before the team heads to the next game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. But RGIII may need to wait as the Browns have already secured a spot for one of their own players. Who is this lucky player stealing the desired spot of the former Browns QB?

Robert Griffin III wishes to play as the Browns’ starting QB

According to a Twitter update, RGIII suggested that the “Browns should sign him and make him the starting QB this season following Deshaun Watson’s season-ending injury.” The 33-year-old said, “I still run a 4.3 40 time.” He played one season with the Cleveland Browns in 2016. The Browns are already checking out other prospects and fans are highly curious about how far RGIII’s request would take him.?

In their last 33-31 victory against the Ravens, Deshaun Watson sustained a throwing showing injury in the first half of the game. Although the 28-year-old star QB played for the remainder of the game, he had to undergo immediate surgery after the game. But he’s expected to return to the field in 2024. As for his injury, Watson said, “Hurt about it? But I’m going to make sure that I’m doing whatever I can to be beneficial for the team while not actually being on the field with them and also prepping for the next year.” Amidst all this, Browns have settled their next pick for the QB position already.?

Rookie Browns QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson wins Deshaun Watson’s position

Amidst potential prospects and pressure from the upcoming Steelers game, the Cleveland Browns have decided to take their rookie QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson to fill Watson’s spot. Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski declared that the 24-year-old will begin his play with the team in the upcoming game on Sunday.?

For some, the decision might seem a little drastic considering that it’s the starting year for Dorian Thompson-Robinson who has 130 yards and three interceptions. But Stefanski is confident in his player saying, “For us, obviously we did a ton of work on him coming out. He’s played a lot of football (at UCLA), he’s very athletic, can make plays? Has a very good understanding of what we do, of our offense, and those types of things. He’s a young player that I think will just continue to get better.”

Robert Griffin III will have to wait for another opportunity to return as a starting QB on the field. Meanwhile, the Browns are hustling to face the 6-3 Steelers next Sunday. Will Dorian Thompson-Robinson live up to the expectations of his head coach and fans watching??
