Former Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III is apparently ready to tell his side of a story that involves our Seahawks, hinting at a Netflix documentary about the wild-card game back in 2012. He’s not holding back either, with a graphic on his screen flat out stating his doc is about “why they kept running me when I only had one leg against Seattle in 2012.” Yeah, you read that right.
The Story He’s Been Dying to Tell
This isn’t RGIII’s first attempt to get his full story out there. Five years ago, he announced a tell-all book about his time with what he called an “inherently dysfunctional franchise,” but then he scrapped it. Now, it looks like the documentary is a go. The guy even wore a full uniform from the team he played for in 2012, complete with the abandoned name and expunged logo. He even had his 2012 NFL offensive rookie of the year trophy chilling on a chair, which he moved before sitting down. It’s clear he’s been sitting on this for a while, and the stage is set for some serious revelations.
That Wild Card Game Against Our Hawks, And What Came After
For those who might not remember, or tried to block out the heartbreak if you were a Washington fan, Griffin is referring to that wild-card game against the Seahawks. His heavily-braced right leg gave out during the game. He originally hurt his knee in Week 14 against the Ravens, and after missing only one game, he was back for the final two weeks of the regular season and then that playoff clash with the Emerald City. His career, though? It was never the same after that. He started 13 games in 2013, then just seven in 2014. By 2015, the team had basically put him in bubble wrap to avoid his injury-guaranteed fifth-year option for 2016, opting to play Kirk Cousins instead. After that, he spent a single year with the Browns.
So, what does this documentary mean for Griffin’s legacy and the narrative surrounding that pivotal moment? It looks like we’re about to get a deep dive into exactly what went down and why. Get ready, because it sounds like RGIII is finally ready to lay it all out.
