6 Potential Landings Spots For Robert Griffin III In 2015

RG3

2. New York Jets

Let’s not be coy: the Jets have had terrible success finding quarterbacks in the draft. Case and point: Mark Sanchez, a former No. 5 overall pick in 2009, is now with Philadelphia, while Geno Smith hasn’t showed much in almost two full seasons to prove he’s the answer to their team’s woes.

The Jets have also signed Michael Vick and traded for Tim Tebow, but the former is a shell of his former self and the latter, well, we knew that publicity stunt would never work out as planned. The team could completely overhaul the coaching staff and front office this offseason, which would leave a new coach and general manager to decide if RGIII is a fit in New York. Instead of dissecting college film, Griffin at least has professional experience to analyze.

In New York, Griffin would have the luxury of a powerful running back in Chris Ivory, as well as weapons like Percy Harvin and Eric Decker, plus a big, developing tight end in Jace Amaro.
