In need of a quarterback, the Redskins are expected to make a play for the second overall pick in April's NFL Draft, which is owned by the Rams. With the pick, Washington would select whichever quarterback is available -- Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III.

The Colts have the first pick in April's NFL Draft and owner Jim Irsay says the selection will be used on a quarterback no matter what happens with Peyton Manning. Indianapolis plans to select either Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III. "With Griffin and Luck and the way it's shaping up at the top of the draft — could very likely go one and two like with Peyton and Ryan Leaf," Irsay told ESPN. "It's most likely one of those quarterbacks that you really feel is the best player in the draft, and where we're at moving forward you can't pass that up. I don't think anyone would expect that."

Six players from the BCS Championship Game, including Alabama tailback Trent Richardson and LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne, are among college football's underclassmen declaring for the NFL draft. The two All-Americans are among a record 65 players who have been declared eligible for the April draft, a field that also includes Robert Griffin III and Andrew Luck as the top quarterbacks. The NFL released its official underclassmen list Thursday.

LSU has scheduled a news conference Thursday afternoon with coach Les Miles.

Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III is headed to the NFL. Griffin made it official Wednesday, announcing that he would skip his senior season to enter the NFL draft after a record-breaking college career. The announcement comes a month and a day after the dual-threat quarterback became the first Baylor player to win college football's highest individual honor. "It was a tough decision, I love the people at this university, love my coach for giving me a chance to be a quarterback," Griffin said.

Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III is informing Baylor that he has decided to turn pro, according to a family source. The Heisman Trophy winner's next task is to choose an agent and he is in the process of finalizing his choice of representatives.
