The year 2022 is halfway over, and the NFL is getting closer to kickoff. Several franchises have taken some steps in building the roster. However, there is still time in the offseason. However, several athletes have not struck a deal. But they are willing to take a chance. Even Robert Griffin III, now a well-known analyst, has left the door open for a comeback.

Robert Griffin III, a Baylor legend, has left a legacy, but off the ground. The Heisman Trophy winner ships his focus from the game, which paid off well. He is now a well-recognized ESPN analyst and functioning in the booth as a commentator. RG3 transitioned so seamlessly that it felt like the booth was just for him.
Robert Griffin III is successful in his current job. But he hasn’t left off an NFL return on the horizon. The free-agent quarterback expresses his desire to play to Christopher Williams of KWTX in Waco, Texas. Furthermore, he has held himself ready to do just that.
RG3 mentions, “I am ready to go right now. I train every day. I throw and work out. I know what it takes to get my body ready and I am doing those things. Yes, it is a little bit tougher when you are flying around everywhere doing stuff for TV, but when you really want something, you make it work. So, if I get that call this year, next year, or five years from now, I will be ready to play.”
