BRISTOL, Conn. — Former Redskins quarterback Donovan McNabb wonders whether Washington coach Mike Shanahan will be able to get the most out of Robert Griffin III if, as expected, the team drafts the Heisman Trophy winner.
During an appearance Thursday on ESPN2’s “First Take,” McNabb was asked whether Shanahan is a good fit for the Baylor quarterback known as RG3.
“No,” McNabb replied. “I say that because a lot of times ego gets too involved when it comes to being in Washington.”
McNabb played for Shanahan in Washington in 2010, when the Redskins went 6-10, the QB was benched twice and there were testy exchanges involving McNabb’s agent and the team.
“I was misused. Absolutely,” McNabb said.
Judge blocks Reebok
NEW YORK — U.S. District Judge Kevin Castel in Manhattan granted Nike Inc. a temporary restraining order that prohibits Reebok International from profiting from jerseys and other paraphernalia stamped with Jets quarterback Tim Tebow’s name — unless it was made by March 1, while he was still with the Broncos. A hearing was set for Wednesday.
The order also requires Reebok to recall all Tebow-related Jets gear on shelves.
Nike spokeswoman Mary Remuzzi said the company’s Tebow products would be sold after the company launches its new jerseys for all 32 NFL teams Tuesday.
Tebow’s Broncos jersey was the second-highest selling of NFL players last season.
