Robert Griffin III started the Redskins first game in 2012, and was unbelievable. He blew fans away because he threw for 320 yards, while adding 42 more on the ground. He accounted for two total touchdowns, while leading Washington’s offense–led by current Browns offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan–to 40 points.

Griffin suffered a torn ACL during the playoffs of his rookie season, and hasn’t been the same player since. He’s constantly criticized for not avoiding the big hit, and the Redskins may be looking for a new quarterback come draft day.
