10. Robert Griffin III
Let’s be honest, if you’re throwing RG3 out there, you’re in a desperate situation. Heck, it’s really saying something that the Cleveland Browns of all teams let him go after one campaign.
At this point in his career, it seems the former NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year is no more than a glorified punching bag for NFL defenders. He hasn’t been able to stay healthy for a full season since…well, since forever.
He suffered a knee injury in his rookie year along with some huge hits to the head. The following year he missed three games due to injury. He wasn’t even suiting up for games in 2015 because Washington decided it was safer to keep him in bubble wrap while Kirk Cousins took over. Then he ended up on IR after playing just part of the first game last year for the Browns.
Even counting his stellar rookie campaign in which he threw 20 touchdowns and just five interceptions earning a record of 9-6, Griffin’s career numbers aren’t great. He now has a career record of 15-25 and has thrown 45 touchdowns compared to 26 interceptions.
The Baylor product still struggles to operate in the pocket. It was his glaring weakness coming out of school, and it’s something he still has yet to master. While we do expect that RG3 will likely land on an NFL roster at some point before the 2017 season begins, he isn’t any team’s long-term or short-term answer at this key position.
