Griffin Is Said to Leave Baylor and Enter the N.F.L. Draft Robert Griffin III, the Heisman Trophy winner, has decided to enter the N.F.L. draft. He will bypass his senior season at Baylor and is projected to be one of the top picks in April. ESPN, citing an anonymous family source, first reported that Griffin was going professional and was in the final stages of picking an agent. A Baylor football staff member confirmed the decision to The New York Times. Griffin played 41 games in his record-setting career at Baylor. He completed 800 of 1,192 passes (67 percent) for 10,366 yards with 78 touchdowns and 17 interceptions, along with 2,254 yards and 33 rushing touchdowns. He was the nation's most efficient passer this season, when he completed 291 of 402 passes (72 percent) for 4,293 yards and 37 TDs with only 6 interceptions. He also ran for 699 yards and 10 more touchdowns. The Bears matched a school record with 10 wins and closed the season with a six-game winning streak, including a record-breaking 67-56 victory over Washington in the Alamo Bowl for their first bowl victory since 1992. They were 13th in The Associated Press Top 25 released Tuesday, the first time they were ranked in the final poll since 1986. Griffin played this season as a fourth-year junior. He had another season of eligibility remaining at Baylor because he got a medical redshirt after he tore a knee ligament in his right knee in the third game of the 2009 season.
