BEREA: Browns quarterback Robert Griffin III is to Luke Skywalker what throwing guru Tom House is to Yoda.
Griffin confirmed Thursday he has been training under House this offseason in an effort to revive his NFL career and prepare himself to win the Browns’ starting job this summer.
“Tom house has been great,” Griffin said after the third and final practice of voluntary minicamp. “It’s been a really, really beneficial experience.”
House is a former major-league pitcher who received his Ph.D. in sports/performance psychology while becoming a pitching coach. He has since tutored pitchers and NFL quarterbacks, including disciples of Browns coach Hue Jackson like Andy Dalton, AJ McCarron, Carson Palmer and Terrelle Pryor, plus others like Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Alex Smith and Tim Tebow.
