I think he competes with the girls more, but that’s another story.

The skeptics are abundant after Griffin was unable to replicate his rookie of the year performance.
Browns: Griffin did not throw a pass last season in Washington.
“Guys are doubting him now and he has to come out and fight now”, cornerback Tramon Williams said.
“What you’re going to see is, every week he’s going to get better and better. I feel like I’m in a good one, so I’m excited about it”.
The video gained so much traction on Thursday that even the Eagles acknowledged it.
The Browns had the No. 2 pick in the draft but didn’t want him.
However, last week the Eagles traded Bradford to the Vikings for a first-round pick.
Philadelphia was happy to grab the 6-foot-5, 237-pounder from North Dakota State with a strong arm and quick feet.
“Browns chief strategy officer Paul DePodesta revealed in an interview with the team’s radio partner at the start of camp that the club didn’t believe Carson Wentz would be a top-20 quarterback in the NFL”. They run a lot of extra offensive linemen at tight end to try to assist their running game. With defensive end Desmond Bryant already out for the season with a torn pectoral muscle, the Eagles managed to dodge the Browns’ top-two pass-rushers from a season ago. “His release is a little slow, so we plan to take advantage of that”. “We all know that”, safety Jordan Poyer said. “That told us a lot”. “We don’t care how we get the victory, just we want to come away with a victory”, Horton continued.
Browns starting quarterback Robert Griffin III is in his fifth National Football League season but first in Cleveland. Wentz chose to stay above the fray when asked about the Browns passing on him and DePodesta’s comments. “We are ready for it”.
It’s good news for the Eagles as far as their chances against the Browns are concerned, although Johnson isn’t out of the woods just yet.
Eagles: Wentz had never taken a snap with the starting offense before practice Monday. They have nearly as many questions surrounding them as their opponent, though the Browns’ problems seem to be greater.
“That is kind of all in the past,” he said during a recent conference call. “We get it. Until we prove something”. We are a group of men who are hungry, that we do understand and realize that there is something to prove, but we hope to have this chip on the shoulder as long as I’m here. For a quarterback one of the toughest parts of the game is the mental aspect because either they have it or they don’t.
“Everything’s not going to be pretty”.
“I think first, you’ve got to start with some of the read-option stuff that they do”, he said. It’s not all on his shoulders.
In fact, Griffin’s most recent victory came at the Eagles’ expense, completing 16 of 23 passes for 220 yards and rushing five times for 11 yards to help guide Washington to a 27-24 win on December 20, 2014. Then again, when Gordon has been on the field, he’s been one of the most dynamic playmakers in the league, while being reunited with Griffin – his college teammate – could potentially take his game to new heights. “Very excited for the game to get going”.
Despite O’Brien’s success, relative to the era of football in which he played, Philadelphia has yet to start a rookie quarterback in Week 1 since – and it’s not for a lack of plausible options.
“We have an opportunity to do something special”.
It’s also a dynamic that Jackson and the coaching staff has embraced over the past few weeks. But he sounded certain of what he’ll see from Griffin and the rest of his team.
Jackson has stressed living up to his expectations and starting the season in style.
