Product Description

He's been called many things--Heisman Trophy winner, MVP, the savior of the Washington Redskins--but to his millions of fans, Robert Griffin III is known simply as RG3.

Robert Griffin III was a preternaturally gifted athlete from a young age, but in those early days he played nearly every sport "except "football. He seemed pointed toward stardom, but would it be in basketball or maybe in track, where he qualified for the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials as a hurdler? As for playing football, Griffin first had to overcome his mother's objections to the violence and danger by making a "Pinkie Promise" with her that no one would catch him. Eventually, he began to realize that all of his remarkable talents--unrivaled speed, pinpoint accuracy, exceptional intelligence, single-minded drive--combined into a potent force that few quarterbacks could rival. What followed seemed almost destined: a football scholarship to Baylor University, three exceptional seasons capped by winning the Heisman Trophy, and the 2012 draft--where Griffin, as the second overall pick, became the franchise quarterback for one of the oldest and most storied football teams in the country.

In "RG3: The Promise, " award-winning "Washington Post "reporter Dave Sheinin provides an in-depth, behind-the-scenes account of Griffin's phenomenal rookie year--and offers a unique and intimate look inside the transformation one of the NFL's brightest young stars.
