Robert Griffin III has been a fan favorite player for the Baltimore Ravens since coming to the team back in 2018. RGIII was the third-string quarterback that year behind Joe Flacco and rookie Lamar Jackson, but his importance was more vital to Jackson’s development. Griffin and Jackson were similar quarterbacks coming out of college, after all, so he served as Jackson’s mentor as a rookie.
After 2018, the Baltimore Ravens opted to move on from Flacco and give the reigns to the franchise to Jackson. With a year of development and starting the final eight games of the year (including the playoffs), Baltimore felt comfortable with the then 22-year old to become their franchise quarterback.
