PLAYERS: Robert Griffin
TEAMS:

Baylor quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III is expected to enter the 2012 NFL Draft, according to ESPN.

Griffin texted ESPN.com's David Ubben on Sunday and said he hasn’t decided. But Griffin's father, Robert Griffin II, said Saturday night it's a matter of when, not if.

"I met with my son (Friday) and his schedule is pretty much he will attend the Sugar Bowl here in New Orleans,” Griffin’s father said. “Then next weekend he will meet with five agents and select the right agent to represent him and plan a good pre-draft process," Griffin II said. "After that he will sit down with three of his coaches at Baylor on Wednesday or Thursday (Jan. 11 or 12) and make it official."

Griffin’s father said his son is only 12 credits short of his master's degree, but he believes he can finish it without returning to school.
