The former Cleveland Browns quarterback Robert Griffin III recently announced that his phone line is always open for any team looking for a signal-caller in the NFL. The 33-year-old free agent revealed his willingness to play after taking a halt for more than one year. Currently, the veteran is serving as an ESPN commentator and is engaged in storytelling, giving it back to the sport. Recently, while sharing his thoughts with Christopher Williams of KWTX, the Baylor alumnus claimed that he is perfectly fit to make a comeback and is open to playing in the future seasons.
“I am ready to go right now,” RGIII said. “I train every day, I throw and work out, I know what it takes to get my body ready, and I am doing those things. Yes, it is a little bit tougher when you are flying around everywhere doing stuff for TV, but when you really want something, you make it work. So, if I get that call this year, next year, or five years from now, I will be ready to play.”
