It appears we have the second coming of Latrell Sprewell surfacing in a Washington Redskins uniform.
According to a scathing report from the Washington Post that detailed the Redskins lost season, Jay Gruden’s costly first-year mistakes and Robert Griffin III’s struggles with his own teammates.
RG3’s nasty relationship with his teammates can be summed up in this statement from an anonymous Redskins wide receiver. Griffin’s on-field play became so poor and erratic, that at one point early in the season some offensive skill players grumbled about how the quarterback could cost them future big-money contracts.
That’s all fine to feel this way. But the unnamed player went full Latrell Sprewell on RG3.
“Man, this guy’s going to wind up taking food off our tables,” one unnamed receiver worried, per The Post.
It probably wasn’t Santana Moss who made the statement, but he elaborated more on the situation.
“As players, you get tired if everything about what we do as a team is directed at one person,” receiver Santana Moss told The Post, noting that he personally doesn’t begrudge Griffin any attention but understands why many young players might. “When you keep giving all that attention to one person and you have 50-some other guys out here playing, as players, they get to feel some type of way. That’s only being human.”
