Robert Griffin III and Adidas are building an ad campaign around the slogan “All in for Week 1.” But Griffin wanted his Twitter fans to know that he’s not going to jeopardize his future to make his Week 1 availability a reality.
“Feel like I need to say this..Although my goal is to start Week 1, that doesn’t mean I will compromise my career to do so,” Griffin wrote. “Starting Week 1 will be the result of healing, hard work, dedication & God’s anointing. No rush, just determination.
I’m glad RGIII is taking it slow and is already considering not playing week 1 of the 2013 NFL season. He already risked it playing in the Redskins playoff game last season and I think what Adrian Peterson did is still an anomaly even with the advances in sports medicine. I wouldn’t worry too much about RGIII ‘Skins fans. He’ll be back but I’d be more concerned the defense and if Brian Orakpo can stay on the field and contribute.
