NFL Scouting Report: RGIII is Real

Robert Griffin dominated defenders by knowing how to best utilize his talents.  
Robert Griffin III is the best QB in the draft.  His rare combination of pocket passing skill and mobility is a prize that comes along only a few times every decade.  This year, the Redskins will take the prize.  I'm not saying that Luck will be a total bust, but like I said in an earlier post, he will not flourish in the NFL as much as people are planning on.  The great Steve Young recently dropped this bit of wisdom on Andrew Luck at his pro day; "In college, everyone's open.  In the NFL, no one's open."  The element preventing Luck from becoming a star in the NFL will be the fact that you cannot fully truly predict how a passer will do at the professional game until they are in fact in it.  Griffin's ability to move around the pocket, throw an accurate deep pass, and run for the first down will all help him adjust in whatever way he needs to make plays in the National Football League.
