One of the brightest “young” stars in the broadcasting world is without question Robert Griffin III. RGIII brings his captivating personality that works perfectly within the broadcast booth. During Week 1 of the college football season, Griffin didn’t disappoint when it came to showing off his personality pregame.
What Happened to RGIII’s Pants?!?!
It all started at the famous Washington Huskies tailgate before their matchup with the Boise State Broncos.

Moments like this show why RGIII is going to be awesome in this profession for a long time.
Not many reporters would have ever thought of jumping in a body of water to begin with. But to have the humility to not only do it but also poke fun at yourself for the wardrobe malfunction for the enjoyment of others is awesome television.
Griffin Is More Than a Good Laugh in the Booth
Obviously, being able to be humorous and speaking in a manner that captures the audience’s attention is a key component of being a good game-day analyst. Nonetheless, RGIII has proven to be worth much more than just a good laugh in the booth.
Griffin has been able to take his experience of his playing days at Baylor University. As a Heisman Trophy winner and first-round pick in the NFL Draft, he applies that knowledge and experience to educate the fans throughout the game.
Griffin is able to communicate and carry an informative conversation while the game is going on that gives the viewers an up-close-and-better understanding of what they’re seeing while it unfolds on their screen.
RGIII is only just beginning his third year in the role and has already captivated and impressed his colleagues and viewers alike.
We are only one week into the 2023 college football season, and with many more games to call and locations to visit, one could wonder just what RGIII has up his sleeve next.
