Robert Griffin III thinks he could help the Jets in wake of Aaron Rodgers injury

Robert Griffin III has carved a really nice niche for himself as a football broadcaster and analyst, but one gets the sense that he smelled a bit of opportunity in the air when it was confirmed that New York Jets starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers will miss the entire season with a torn Achilles.

The job will now be placed on the shoulders of Zach Wilson, who was meant to learn under Rodgers this season and soak up his knowledge and experience, but RG3 seems to think that several quarterbacks could come in and help an already talent-filled New York roster win some games — even as a backup to Wilsons.

The problem? He believes some of the potential players that have been brought up, such as Cam Newton, Colin Kaepernick or even himself, would be a distraction to Wilson.

"When you talk about free agent quarterbacks there's a reason that certain guys aren't in the league and that's because they're uninspired. Some of these guys like Cam Newton, Colin Kaepernick, myself, it’s not that we can’t play the game anymore,” Griffin explained on ESPN. “It’s that we’re a big distraction if you bring us in.”
