Robert Griffin III, the former NFL quarterback who transitioned to an analyst role at ESPN, has parted ways with the network.
Reports indicate that Griffin’s contract came to an end earlier this month and was not renewed. Since 2018, he had been providing insights as a college football analyst for ESPN.
Initially known for his antics on the field with the Washington Football Team and the Cleveland Browns, Griffin entered the broadcasting arena after departing from the Baltimore Ravens in 2018. Over the years, he has offered his expertise during significant college football occasions, including the College Football Playoff and National Championship.
The network expressed its gratitude towards Griffin through a statement, appreciating his efforts over the last three seasons and wishing him success in his future pursuits.
Griffin reciprocated the sentiment, thanking the network for the time he spent there. “I am thankful for the chance to be part of such a dynamic team and to collaborate with some of the industry’s best,” he stated. “The knowledge I’ve gained here is invaluable and I’m thankful for all the experiences.”
The future path for Griffin remains to be seen, yet he has signaled a desire to continue his involvement in sports broadcasting.
His exit follows several other notable figures leaving the network, leading to discussions about the network’s ongoing strategy and dedication to college sports broadcasting.
Despite these departures, ESPN continues to be a dominant force in sports broadcasting, with a rich lineup of upcoming major college football broadcasts including once again the College Football Playoff and National Championship.
With this transition from ESPN, Griffin closes one chapter of his career but stands on the cusp of potentially exciting new ventures in the sports media world.
