The US media company “ESPN”, which broadcasts football games from college and the NFL, among others, has surprisingly parted ways with expert Robert Griffin III. This was reported by “The Athletic”.

Griffin III was hired as a football expert three years ago. Previously, the second pick in the 2012 NFL Draft played for the Washington Commanders, Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens.
