RG3: If Browns draft QB, I'll take him 'under my wing'

Robert Griffin III appears well aware of the situation he's stepping into with the Cleveland Browns.

Having joined a team in the midst of a mass rebuild on a two-year deal, Griffin told reporters Thursday that he's willing to help another quarterback potentially drafted by the Browns this year.

"If they draft a quarterback, (I'll) take the guy under my wing," Griffin said on a conference call, according to Conor Orr of NFL.com. "I'm considered a vet now after four years in the league and I've been through a lot more than a lot of guys go through in their entire career. I've got a lot of experience. I can help a young guy, but it's not my focus.

"I don't pick the players. (Executive vice president of football operations) Sashi (Brown) and (coach) Hue (Jackson) and all those guys will take care of that stuff, but if they draft a quarterback, it doesn't bother me at all. I'm just ready to compete."

Adding Griffin gives Cleveland a possible starter for the 2016 season, but the move is unlikely to alter the team's strategy in regard to taking a quarterback near the top of the draft.

Griffin's presence, should he successfully rebound from the difficult end to his time with the Washington Redskins, would merely keep the Browns from rushing a young signal-caller into action.

Among the quarterbacks currently thought to be under consideration in that spot are Cal's Jared Goff and North Dakota State's Carson Wentz.
