You can’t help but feel for Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III.

The former Baylor star came into the NFL and tore up everything standing in his way during his rookie campaign, looking as if he was a star in the making. That’s when the injuries began to occur and they continued to pile up in devastating fashion.

Now the signal caller looks like a shell of his former self and has been benched in favor of career backup’s like Colt McCoy.

The quarterback has not only been ripped by Washington Redskins fans but has also been repeatedly thrown under the bus by head coach Jay Gruden. The end result apparently had RGIII spending Redskins practice by punting the ball for almost 40 minutes, completely alone according to The Washington Post‘s Mike Jones.

Appearing on CBS DC’s The Sports Junkies, Jones informed radio host Jason Bishop of 106.7 The Fan that Griffin spent Friday’s practice by aimlessly kicking balls into the air for over a half hour.

“Last Friday, after practice, [Griffin] was on the field by himself for like 40 minutes, just punting the ball, and running after it, and punting the ball and running after it,” Jones said. “The guy looks like he’s lost, doesn’t know what’s going on, and so I did feel bad for him.”

You’d like to believe that Robert Griffin III was simply just having some fun, playing a game usually reserved for bored children, but that doesn’t appear to be anything remotely close the case.

“Out there on the practice field,” Jones said. “He stayed there. This was outside, after everybody’s in the locker room changing their clothes, getting ready to go, and he’s just out there for like 40 minutes punting the ball, he’d run after it, punt the ball.”

Just when you thought the situation surrounding Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins couldn’t get any stranger, this happens.

Clearly this is a marriage that needs both parties to go their separate ways as neither is happy in their current situation.
