The Heisman Trophy winner wrote on social media that he was involved in a “scary” car crash in Fort Worth.
FORT WORTH, Texas — Former NFL star Robert Griffin III and his family were involved in a “scary” crash in North Texas, he shared on social media Friday.
Griffin wrote on social media that he, his wife and children were involved in the “worst car accident of our lives” in Fort Worth.
“Scary crash, ricocheted off the highway divider multiple times, blown both front tires. Thankful to God that my wife and kids are safe,” Griffin wrote.
TMZ reports Griffin was in town to cover the TCU-Colorado game for FOX Saturday.
Fort Worth police say they were called to a crash involving four vehicles near the 6400 block of South Freeway shortly before noon Oct. 3. Police sources told WFAA Griffin and his family were among those involved and are OK.
“Upon arrival, officers located 3 of the vehicles that were involved; the other had left the scene prior to officers’ arrival. Medical personnel made the scene and transported an occupant to a nearby hospital with unknown injuries,” Fort Worth police said. “This accident is being investigated.”
Griffin is a former Heisman Trophy winner who attended Baylor University.
In a response to Griffin’s post, Baylor Football wrote in a post on X, “sending prayers and glad everyone is ok!”
Griffin was selected No. 2 overall in the 2012 NFL draft by the then-Washington Redskins, was the NFL’s Rookie of the Year in 2012 and was selected to the Pro Bowl his first season.
He had an eight-year career in the NFL, playing for the then-Redskins, Cleveland Browns and the Baltimore Ravens.
After his time in the NFL, Griffin joined ESPN as a broadcaster in 2021 covering college football and the NFL, before he was let go from that network in 2024, as Sports Illustrated reported.
Griffin then joined Fox Sports as a college football analyst last month.
