At Baylor, 'Big Griff' Guards Heisman Hopeful RG3
WACO (AP) Baylor's biggest player on the field has the initials RG and is referred to by teammates as "Big Griff.''
His name is Robert Griffin, but he isn't the Heisman Trophy hopeful quarterback for the 19th-ranked Bears. This is the
6-foot-6, 330-pound right guard blocking for the 6-foot-2, 220-pound quarterback with the same name. They aren't related.
There is never any confusion on the field of which Griffin is which.
Robert Griffin III is the big-play quarterback with 4,290 total yards and 41 touchdowns (34 passing, seven rushing) this season for the Bears. Robert T. Griffin (from Euless, TX), nicknamed "RG2'' by coach Art Briles, is the big man blocking up front.
The Bears, already with their most wins in 20 years, host Texas on Saturday.
