mzkp54 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d829ae376/article/rg3s-rocket-arm-leaves-hankersons-gloves-in-tatters?module=HP11_headline_stack The Cleveland Browns were never serious about Robert Griffin III, according to a report this week. As the story goes, they viewed him as "too small" and "eager to show how fast he was."They forgot about his arm. RG3 now resides in our nation's capital, the starting quarterback of the Washington Redskins. If his size and need for speed were ever questioned, we have solid evidence the man (and his loyal backup) can deliver the ball. "Out here grinding," Redskins wideout Leonard Hankerson posted on his Instagram page. "This is what #RG3 and #Kirk (Cousins) did to my glove." Mike Shanahan has seen this before. A mildly famous former quarterback of his, John Elway, was legendary for the pain he inflicted on his receivers' palms. Elway threw with force, and it helped Shanahan and the Denver Broncos win two Super Bowls. RG3: Too small, too fast for Cleveland; just right for the quarterback-hungry faithful of Washington, D.C. Haha this was one of those articles that as soon as I read the headline a huge smile broke across my face. So excited... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeluCopter29 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 6' 2" and 225 is plenty big for me. Especially if he's fast enough to be considered a red zone threat and has an arm big enough to tear WR gloves. Those things are THICK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tibbidoe Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 That's pretty awesome, PLUS I'm glad to see Hank back and catching enough passes to kill a pair of gloves. SO ready for the season to start! HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseNeckred Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 RGIII would be small if he was an O-lineman or a D-lineman, but he's bigger than Drew Brees, who of course sucks right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston Skins Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I can't believe so many people are even entertaining and responding to comments from the CLEVELAND BROWNS. I mean, come on. RG3 is a beast. HankTime is a beast. We're going to have a beastly team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogofWar1 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 That is simultaneously good news about Hankerson, and awesome about RGIII. And I'm still laughing at the Browns. Thank goodness we're not the butt monkeys of the NFL anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTSKINSFAN5 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 The important thing to take away from this is that he mentioned Cousins not just RG3....... Cousins is the true beast and future Superbowl champion..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorPainTrain Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Here is to hoping that RG3 and Hank become our stud QB and WR combination for a long time! Also, I love that Cousins is also mentioned in the article. We got a lot of heat for the Cousins' pick, but backup QB is such an important position it he NFL. I haven't heard anything but praise for Kirk and hopefully he can hold off Rex for that backup spot. I am so excited about the youth at our skill positions, that I can't hold back my enthusiasm! QB - RG3 and Cousins RB - Helu and Royster WR - Garçon and Hankerson TE - Davis and Paul Now, let's get the OL to protect and have Kyle call a good game! Hail!

dahibachi Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Yeah of course Cleveland wasn't interested in RG3.... Just like harbaugh wasn't interested in Manning. It's almost guaranteed that once a team doesn't get a player it wanted, they will claim that it was all for show and never intended on making the signing.

Here's the info on a pretty good QB in the league with the same measurements as RGIII Date of birth: December 2, 1983 (age 28) Place of birth: Chico, California Height: 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m) Weight: 225 lb (102 kg) Anyone know who?
