Oh, Say Can You See? - It’s RG3!

For pretty much two years now, it’s been generally assumed that Stanford standout quarterback Andrew Luck would be taken with the No.1 overall draft pick, but not any more Eye on Sports followers.

2011 was the ‘Year of RG3’ and now, the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback from Baylor stands poised to leapfrog Luck to become the Indianapolis Colts’ choice

as the No. 1 overall draft pick.

Griffin's father, Robert Griffin II, told the media on Saturday night that it's a matter of when, not if his so will announce his decision to go pro rather than going back to Baylor for his senior season.

"I met with my son (Friday) and his schedule is pretty much he will attend the Sugar Bowl here in New Orleans, then next weekend he will meet with five agents and select the right agent to represent him and plan a good pre-draft process," Griffin II said. "After that he will sit down with three of his coaches at Baylor on Wednesday or Thursday (Jan. 11 or 12) and make it official."

Griffin III already obtained his bachelor's degree in political science in December 2010 and is just 12 credits short of his master’s degree. Baylor beat Washington 67-56 on Thursday in the Valero Alamo Bowl to finish the season with a fine 10-3 record.

Reports say the Indianapolis Colts have spent significant time checking out Griffin on tape and in person and are very high on the athletic superstar signal-caller.

My personal feeling is that Luck is more ready to play in the NFL right now, but Griffin has the bigger upside with his far superior athleticism and equally impressive arm strength. Indianapolis should nab RG3 with the No. 1 overall pick, let Peyton Manning play out his career and then hand the keys to the franchise to Griffin in two seasons!
