RGIII Getting Roasted For Posting Strange Pic Of He And His Wife Shoving A Croissant Down His Throat

Former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III is an interesting cat. We’ve known this for the decade-plus that he’s been in the public eye.

There’s nothing specifically strange about RGIII — he’s just a bit goofy. If you’ve ever seen the classic 1997 Jim Carrey comedy, you’ll remember he describes his ex-wife’s new boyfriend as being “magoo.” That’s the perfect description of Robert Griffin III.

The latest example of RGIII’s oddness came courtesy of his and his wife’s recent trip to Paris for the 2024 Olympic Games.

In a photo posted to Twitter, RGIII and his wife Grete Griffin are seen pulling a Lady and the Tramp spaghetti maneuver with a croissant, one of France’s most recognizable foods.

While the picture is generally harmlessly cringy, what’s making it go viral on Twitter is the fact that RGIII is far more into it than his wife — literally.  Whereas Grete isn’t even taking a bite of the croissant, Griffin appears to have a sizeable chunk of it shoved into his mouth.

Griffin’s former teammate Torrey Smith — the pair were both with the Ravens during the 2018 preseason — immediately took notice of that fact, as he quoted-tweeted RGIII’s post saying, “They are about to cook you.” Taking one glance at the photo, it isn’t hard to see why.

“Can’t even eat a croissant with your wife anymore on this app,” RGIII replied to the tweet after it began going viral.

“This is the most dangerous game of Create the Caption we’ve ever seen,” tweeted the sports media company Awful Announcing.

“Can’t believe he thought this photo was a good idea,” another viral response read.

“The internet is unforgiving. Good luck,” warned former NFL lineman and current media member Geoff Schwartz.

RGIII, who won the Heisman in 2011, was drafted 2nd overall in the 2012 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins.

While RGIII’s career got off to a promising start, he was named Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2012, injuries ultimately derailed his career, as he spent just four seasons with Washington before finishing out his career with the Browns in 2016 and the Ravens from 2018 to 2020.
