Way to go Robert, 2011 Heisman Trophy Winner. My son has had several classes with Robert during their time at Baylor University and is one of RGIII's biggest fans.

Congratulations to him!!...although I don't follow college football and haven't a clue who he is.
A hearty congratulations!
I just read an article about his trip to New York City where he was being honored. Afterwords, there was a big party being thrown and he chose not to attend. He instead made a beeline to Ground Zero to pay his respects and spend a few hours there. He wasn't interested in partying at all, but wanted to go there. It said he comes from a very strong military family.
Refreshing to hear of a young person not as interested in the accolades.

Robert is a one of a kind. A great athlete with his head screwed on straight. I think he graduated with a 3.96 GPA after 3 years, finishing his Master's this week or next semester and has already been accepted to law school next fall.
With football and accelerating his college courses he some how still found time to WORK with 4 or 5 charities during that time. My son was in a few classes with him and he reports Robert is one smart cookie and you would have never known he was the starting quarterback and star player by his manners.
Mrs. Griffin is very big on education and she has pounded that into his head. He either had to do as mom said or she would have put an end to his football playing. Robert has never spoke of wanting to turn pro, his goal is the law degree. That may have changed now but I expect he will get his law degree even if it's in the off season.
I'm glad I will get the chance to watch him at the Alamo Bowl which could be his last college ball game but I won't be surprised if he returns for another year at Baylor.
And the reports are correct, he went to Ground Zero instead of the all night party following the awards ceremony.

There is a joke going around the Baylor Nation, they have the best Japanese Quarterback in the nation playing at Baylor. Robert was born in Japan while his parents were stationed there. Both of his parents are US Army NCO's.
Yep, he sounded like a real good guy in the article I read. I was impressed.
