Washington has picked up their fifth-year option on the contract of Robert Griffin III, keeping him under team control through 2016.

In that 2012 season, Griffin III earned his first-career Pro Bowl selection, while also establishing NFL rookie records for passer rating (102.4), percentage of passes intercepted (1.27) and rushing yards by a quarterback (815).

Griffin has been inconsistent since undergoing surgery on a torn ACL.

Griffin was named starting quarterback for the 2015 season back in February.
