Robert Griffin III Races A Hawk in 40-Yard Dash, Just Because (Video)

ESPN added Robert Griffin III to its Monday Night Countdown crew for this season, and the former NFL quarterback began his new role in style.

In honor of Monday Night Football opening the season with a Seahawks game, Griffin decided to race a Seahawk in a spring on the pregame show. And, in a close race, Griffin barely edged out the bird to come out victorious.

Griffin was known for his speed in the NFL, and he was even a record-breaking track runner in high school, so it is no surprise that he was the analyst who agreed to race an animal on live television.
