Robert Griffin III’s 5 most popular quotes
- It’s not about talent once you get to the NFL because everyone’s got it. It’s about being willing to go that extra mile to be the best, and that’s something that I’ve always done.

- There’s far more that goes into being a professional athlete than being a college athlete. So many differences that people don’t realize. It’s not just about playing football and getting paid to do it. There’s a lot of things that you have to deal with.
- You can be a catalyst for change, but change never really entirely happens just because of one guy.
- Warren Moon and Doug Williams really didn’t run that much. That’s the negative stereotype when it comes to African-American quarterbacks, that most of us just run. Those guys threw it around. I like to think I can throw it around a little bit.
