Robert Griffin III Tells Jon Gruden He Is The Top Pick

Former Baylor star quarterback and top draft prospect Robert Griffin III told former NFL coach and ESPN broadcaster Jon Gruden that even if Andrew Luck is chosen first in the upcoming draft, he believes he also deserves to be the No. 1 overall pick, according to NFL.com.

“There's two No. 1 picks. Washington didn't trade up to No. 2 to pick a guy at No. 2, they're going to pick a guy they'd pick at No. 1. Really, in this draft, there are two No. 1 picks. That's why I won't be mad if Andy goes first," Griffin told the former NFL coach on ESPN’s “Gruden Camp.”

"The one thing I've always said: I don't play against quarterbacks, I play against defenses,” Griffin continued. “No matter what, it's going to be 'Luck vs. Griffin' for the rest of our careers. We always know that we'll be compared side-by-side."
