In his conference call today with the Seattle media, Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III was asked, naturally, about his counterpart with the Seahawks, Russell Wilson.
Both have proven to be great leaders as rookies in guiding their teams into the playoffs; both have excelled in the zone read; their statistics are comparable (Wilson is third in the NFL in QB rating at 102.4, followed by Wilson in fourth at 100.0) , and they are each strong candidates, along with Andrew Luck, for Offensive Rookie of the Year.
“We got to meet each other and talk during the rookie symposiums,’’ Griffin said. “I’ve been able to not necessarily follow everything that’s going on, but I’ve been able to see how the Seahawks have been playing, and how he’s been playing. To me, it brings more excitement to the game, and I’m happy for him.”
