Checked out the latest Robert Griffin, III Adidas video lately?
If you've ever asked a pro athlete want he (or she) would be doing if not for professional sports, you'd might get an array of answers that show that athlete in a different light.
A bus driver, perhaps? A cop, an athletic trainer, a security guard, an attorney maybe?
Lucky for Robert Griffin, III, he doesn't have to answer that question now that he's officially signed on as the quarterback of the Washington Redskins - to the tune of $21M - over four years.
Oh, what a happy day for him.
Griffin tweeted, "Well people....It's Time to go to Work!!! Off the unemployment line and oh yea HTTR!!!!"
(Wonder if he knows all the lyrics yet?)
Griffin wasn't the only player to sign a deal today with Washington.
The Skins also signed 2012 third-round draft pick guard Josh LeRibeus (71st overall). LeRibeus (6-2, 312), played at SMU, where he appeared in 36 games with 28 starts. In 2011, he started all 13 games at left guard and was a member of a Mustangs offense that averaged 274.8 passing yards per game (third in Conference USA). LeRibeus blocked for an offense in 2009 that set single-season school records in total offense (5,093), passing yards (3,666) and points (380). LeRibeus, an honorable mention All-C-USA selection in 2009, was part of an offensive line that helped block for the C-USA’s leading rusher Zach Line (1,224 rushing yards) in 2011.
