Ex-Browns QB Robert Griffin III seeks NFL roster spot after Week 2

Summary

Former Cleveland Browns quarterback Robert Griffin III expressed his desire for an NFL opportunity following Week 2. Griffin criticized the Atlanta Falcons' quarterback struggles during their 34-3 loss to the Carolina Panthers, advocating for veteran presence amid injuries. Griffin, who last played in the NFL in December 2020, referenced the performances of current Falcons quarterbacks Cooper Rush and Jack Strand. The Falcons are 0-2 this season and have yet to score during a red zone possession.
