It looks like Baltimore Ravens have their quarterback situation sorted out. After trading Joe Flacco in order to clear the way for Lamar Jackson to become an undisputed starter, they now also have a backup QB in place. Ravens recently announced that they had resigned Robert Griffin III to a two-year contract with the deal pending the passing of a physical.
After spending the 2017 season out of the league, Griffin impressed the Ravens during a workout in 2018 offseason, and the team decided to give him one-year,$1.1 million deal. He had several impressive moments in the preseason, and although he spent the regular season as team’s third QB, he impressed the team with his work ethic on training to earn a new contract.
Ravens are now hoping that the 29-year-old will not only be a solid primary backup for Jackson but can also continue to mentor the young QB.
Robert Griffin entered the NFL in 2012 when Washington Redskins took him second overall in that year’s draft. Although he had a spectacular start of his career, earning a Pro Bowl appearance and leading Redskins to playoffs in his rookie season, Griffin started struggling with injuries which ultimately derailed his development.
Griffin’s career stats include 9,004 passing yards for 42 touchdowns and 26 interceptions alongside 1,670 rushing yards and 10 TDs.
