Griffin Using Rehab Process As Time To Increase Study Of Game

Jul 20, 2014 6:30 AM

Robert Griffin III is limited in his physical activity due to his offseason knee surgery, giving him time to improve his mental approach to the game.

Griffin was unable to to be as mobile as he typically is during the final two games of the regular season and the Washington Redskins' playoff game, forcing him to rely on his abilities to read coverages and move through his pass progressions.

“A lot of film work, watching the film – alone and with the coaches, within the rules of the CBA,” Griffin said. “That part of it helps, and I was talking to the guys about [it] toward the end of last year, being slowed down kind of slowed the game down for me, because I had to slow down, and it made me have to get through all of my reads. That’s what I’m getting forward to doing this upcoming season: getting through every single option that I need to get through, and while at the same time, being able to use my legs as a weapon.”
