Robert Griffin III is a sharp dresser when he is discussing sports on ESPN each week, but there is just one thing his wife hates.
Quote tweeting a clip of Saturday’s return, Grete Griffin couldn’t help but notice that her husband was doing something that clearly drives her crazy.
“Stop creasing your shoes baby” with a cringing emoji.
The former No. 2 overall pick and 2012 NFL offensive rookie of the year will likely listen to his wife from now on.
As far as Griffin, he has not given up on his career despite not playing for a couple of seasons.
The New York Jets were thrown into crisis on the first possession of their first game of the 2023 NFL season, when newly acquired star quarterback Aaron Rodgers went down with a torn Achilles. As the topic was discussed on ESPN, commentator Robert Griffin III put himself in the mix as an option.

“Some of these guys like Carson Wentz, Cam Newton, Colin Kaepernick, myself, it’s not that we can’t play the game anymore, it’s that we’re a big distraction if you bring us in,” Griffin said. “I had a GM tell me this offseason, ‘hey man, I know you can still play, you look like you could still play, but if we bring you in it’s going to be a distraction for our starting quarterback.’ So now that your starter in Aaron Rodgers is out, you can potentially go and grab some of those guys.”
Griffin was an electric quarterback in his prime, winning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year back in 2012 with Washington. Unfortunately, his peak was cut short by a series of knee injuries.
He hasn’t play in the NFL since 2020, and hasn’t thrown more than 40 passes in a season since 2016.
He might not want to hear it, but his career is done.
