BEREA, Ohio (AP) ? Redskins rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III says the arrest of a former Baylor basketball player for allegedly trying to extort money from the Heisman Trophy winner is a good lesson for himself and other NFL rookies.
Griffin, participating in a youth clinic as part of the league's rookie symposium this week, would not comment directly on the arrest. Richard Khamir Hurd, 25, was arraigned Monday in federal court in Waco, Texas, for allegedly threatening to release "derogatory information" about Griffin unless he was paid.
Griffin says his situation reinforces the stories rookies are hearing from former players during their four-day orientation program on problems they may face as professionals. Griffin said "there's vultures out there, people looking to climb on top of all your money."
