Robert Griffin III may have worn out his welcome in D.C., but he has a huge fan in Dallas.
Speaking this morning on NFL Network’s NFL AM, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones gushed about RG3, basing a large part of his compliments off that week 17 performance in RG3’s rookie year where he had 100 passing yards and 63 rushing yards.
“Well, I’m a fan of RGIII,” Jones said. “Right on this field two years ago, or maybe it was three seasons ago, he put on a show and had a game that just floored me. And they won, and they won in large part because of his play at quarterback. I thought ‘my goodness, and we’re going to have to be playing this guy for years and years.’ And so he’s got it.
“Once you see a player do it, especially if you see him do it two or three times, you know he can do it. And of course he’s a driven young man. I’m a big admirer of RGIII.”
No need to get excited, the Texas native won’t be returning to Dallas. Jones still likes his game.
