This may be a bit late since Robert Griffin III was presented the award on Saturday, but for those of us who did not see his acceptance speech, now you have. “Well it’s truly a blessing to be up here, to be able to stand first and foremost.” After exchanging hugs from family and Redskins owner Dan Snyder, Griffin walked up to accept his award and looked pretty smooth in doing so. I didn’t notice much of a limp and he seemed to manage the steps fairly well. Here is hoping to a speedy, full recovery. Congratulations to Robert Griffin III, your NFL offensive rookie of the year.
