The Top 10 Divas In The NFL

 3. Robert Griffin III

Robert Griffin III came into the NFL and had a historic season, not just for a rookie but for any player. He led his Washington team to the NFC East title. They eventually fell in the playoffs, and Griffin hurt his knee. That is when things became unhinged.

During his rehab, Griffin decided that he would continually talk about being ready for the next season’s opening game, even though it was too optimistic. It ended up being so, and Griffin struggled throughout last season.

Many think that the success he had in his rookie season got to Griffin’s head. He boasted about how close he was to owner Dan Snyder. That relationship may have cost Mike Shanahan his job when his own relationship with Griffin soured.

Some have taken to calling Griffin “RG-Me” rather than the more customary RG-3. There were reports from unnamed players(video) that Griffin became a locker room diva. It became all about him, instead of all about team. He started to blame other players for bad plays that he was responsible for.

This season Griffin said he felt healthy until he dislocated his ankle. He was struggling still, before the injury. There was talk about backup Kirk Cousins being a better fit in Washington than Griffin. Griffin may be back this season to try to resurrect his career and his image.
