Longtime NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III hasn’t completely given up on his football career, but he’s trying out the broadcast booth for now.
RG3, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, did not sign with a team for the 2021 season. Instead, he’s accepted a job with ESPN.
Tonight, Griffin is making his college football announcing debut. The longtime NFL quarterback is in the broadcasting booth for the Texas Tech vs. Houston game.
The contest is on ESPN. Griffin is on the call with veteran play-by-play man Mark Jones.

Longtime sports broadcaster Jonathan Coachman is impressed, too.
