Baylor fans/watchers: What's so great about Robert Griffin III?

The junior QB who just won the Heisman.

I've never seen any of Baylor's games, so I wonder what this guy's strengths are as a player.

I've seen enough of Baylor's games this year to say RG III is the Real Deal.

If you get a chance, go to youtube and watch the relpay of Baylor / Oaklahoma game...

Should help even the non-believers agree, this guy is no flash in the pan...

Pocket passer? Good accuracy on short or long balls? Option runner?

Baylor was only allowed to join the Big 12 due to the fact that the Lt. Governor and the Governor of Texas were Baylor graduates at the time that the SWC broke up. Baylor has never beat Oklahoma since joining the Big 12.

RGIII is a nice young man and a great athlete. I love the concept that he may go to law school next year if he does not go professional. I think that he will probably go professional next year.

BTW, you should see his sock collection. You can not find the superman socks that he wore last night

Griffin has an accurate and strong arm with sprinter's speed. He is comfortable throwing from the pocket or on the run. Track speed makes him extra dangerous scrambling or on the zone read. He is quite intelligent. Made Dean's List. Already graduated. Working on Masters, Plans to go to law school.

This play seems to sum up a lot of it:
