RG3, Browns surprise high school team

CLEVELAND: Talk about a quarterback sneak.

New Browns QB Robert Griffin III posed like a statue before surprising some unsuspecting high school football players Tuesday after the group was told they had just received $25,000 from the NFL team for new helmets and uniforms.

“First time I’ve been a mannequin,” RG3 said.

Along with teammate Cam Erving, Griffin executed the trick play during a presentation at North Ridgeville High School. Standing silently and stiffly on a stage holding a ball and dressed in a helmet and full uniform, Griffin playfully lunged to startle two players.

“Let’s just say it was really hard not to breathe for that long, but it was fun,” he said.
