Robert Griffin III came into the NFL as the most recent Heisman award winner and highly favored. Following multiple injuries throughout his short NFL career, the former starting QB, finds himself riding the bench as the third-string back up and everyone doubting his purpose.
Recently, NBC Analyst, Rodney Harrison added insult to injury, making a comment calling RGIII a “flat out jerk.”

Harrison has never seemed to be a fan of RGIII, even suggesting that he and the Redskins part ways, way before anyone else thought that to be the best move for the Washington franchise. Harrison commented on the topic again after being asked about it during an interview.
“Well first and foremost, we see every week that there’s a lot of bad quarterback play, so I think we’re used to that. What we don’t see is guys being jerks at the quarterback position. And Robert Griffin III was a jerk. He was a flat-out jerk. And when you look at Kirk Cousins, he comes and he says all the right things. And he’s trying, he’s fighting, his team is out there supporting him, he’s doing everything he can to win.”
Harsh words from the former 2x pro-bowler and Super Bowl champ, but he did not stop there. Harrison went on to say,
“I think we respect guys that work hard and try to do the right thing and stay humble. Robert Griffin didn’t do that, and he lost the respect of his teammates, as well as the guys in the media.”
RGIII has not made any statement as a response to Harrison’s comments, though it is unlikely that we’ll be hearing anything from him.
The Redskins will face the New York Jets, Sunday afternoon at one on FOX.
