Los Angeles, April 5 (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 5th Apr, 2018 ) :Quarterback Robert Griffin, who hasn't played since the 2016 season, has reached a one-year agreement with the Baltimore Ravens, the NFL team announced on Wednesday.

The former Washington Redskins and Cleveland Browns player is expected to take on the role of backup quarterback to veteran starter Joe Flacco.

"You look at the veteran quarterbacks out there, where we're at right now, I'm pretty excited about this player," coach John Harbaugh said.

"I'm really feeling like we got a steal. I really feel that way." Griffin was the second overall pick in the 2012 draft by Washington. He made the Pro Bowl and All-Rookie team in 2012 before injuries derailed his career. The Redskins cut him in 2016, and the Browns picked him up but the injuries limited him to just five games with Cleveland.
