In this episode of the NFL Players: Second Acts podcast, former Pro Bowl QB Robert Griffin III - a.k.a. “RG3” - joins Peanut Tillman and Roman Harper. Robert explains how he got his nickname, what it was like setting records his rookie year, and how he fits into the era of Black quarterbacks who continued to evolve the position in the NFL. RG3 also talks about why he decided to retire in 2020, but how he’s stayed in playing shape in case he gets a Philip Rivers-type call from a team. We hear Robert’s “welcome to the media moment,” his seamless transition from football to broadcasting, and what he’s learned about managing media controversies.
