Griffin: “The phone blew up as soon as the time went public.”
May 3, 2022
Robert Griffin III put the NFL on notice when he participated in the “Run Rich Run” charity event during the NFL draft, which benefits St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital. The 32-year-old former NFL quarterback shook off the cobwebs and ran a blistering 4.48-second 40-yard dash, garnering the interest of a few NFL teams.
Griffin appeared on the Rich Eisen Show on Tuesday, saying his “phone blew up as soon as his time went public.” “It’s been 10 years and a number of wear and tear on the body, but to run .07 better than I did at the combine, I think that peaked some teams’ interest,” Griffin said. The former Heisman Trophy winner also did not shy away sharing his interest in possibly returning to the NFL. He said he would like to play for the Cowboys, the Bears or Falcons.
