THE HERD - Hour 3 - Robert Griffin III joins The Herd

In this episode of The Herd with Colin Cowherd, former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III joins as a guest to discuss the latest NFL draft, team strategies, and player development. The conversation dives into the Steelers' decision to tender Aaron Rodgers, with RG3 arguing that the move reflects the team's need for stability amid roster turnover and the departure of long-time coach Mike Tomlin. The discussion shifts to quarterback prospects, with RG3 expressing skepticism about the Rams' pick of Ty Simpson, though he praises the value of learning under Sean McVay. He also highlights the importance of quarterback leadership and fit, using Fernando Mendoza as an example of a player who brings identity and toughness. The episode covers the Bears' draft, the Giants' selection of Arvel Reese, and the Chargers' focus on offensive line depth. Later, the conversation turns to the NBA, with Cowherd and RG3 debating the future of the corner three-pointer, citing Steve Kerr’s support and Phil Jackson’s proposal to widen the court. They ultimately argue that the real issue in the NBA is repetitive play and load management, not tanking. The episode closes with reflections on LeBron James’ historic 23rd season, where his team thrives without key offensive players, illustrating his ability to elevate teammates through leadership and efficiency.
