The 2011 Heisman Trophy winner, Griffin III was a standout quarterback at Baylor University throwing for 10,366 passing yards and 78 touchdowns while rushing for 2,254 yards and 33 touchdowns across his collegiate career. One of only three players in FBS history with over 10,000 passing yards, he was also awarded the Davey O’Brien and Manning awards from his standout 2011 season where he led the team to a 10-3 record and a win in the Alamo Bowl – the program’s first bowl game victory in nearly two decades. Known for his exceptional speed, Griffin III was lauded as college football’s fastest quarterback and earned All-America status on Baylor’s outdoor track and field team in Spring 2008.

Selected second overall in the 2012 NFL Draft by Washington, Griffin III delivered one of the most memorable rookie campaigns in league history earning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and Pro Bowl honors. Off an electric seven-game winning streak, he led Washington to the NFC East division title for the first time since 1999 and the team’s first playoff appearance since 2007. Griffin III went on to play for the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens in his eight-year NFL career.
