Video: Robert Griffin III Amazing Touchdown Run

Robert Griffin III showed Thursday night why he deserved the Heisman Trophy.  With a minute left in the first quarter of the Alamo Bowl, Baylor was nursing a 14-7 lead.  RG3 took the snap and it looked like he was going to be sacked.  Instead, he eluded multiple tacklers and scampered in for the score. If scouts aren’t convinced about RG3 by now, they should be.  His ceiling...

Eagles 2011: A Year that started with anticipation faulted too many times to recover
