Griffin is ready to move on to 11 on 11s, but that's up to Shanahan.

RG3 said he was at a further point at this point in recovery while at Baylor. the diff: in coll, trying to make to NFL; now, trying to last

Griffin: hardest part of his journey so far "is knowing that everyone was going to doubt me, and everyone was going to try to hold me back."
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) August 5, 2013
RG3 "It was truly a blessing to go to Dr. Andrews and pass all those tests. It's a blessing." "If I don't believe in myself, no one will."
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania980) August 5, 2013
What's he going to do in TEN? "Maybe Kyle will let me call [plays] for a quarter or something." #RG3 #RedskinsTalk

Griffin: “Fortunately, I haven’t had any soreness or swelling in my knee, particular to the injury, and I haven’t had any sore legs.”
— Zac Boyer (@ZacBoyer) August 5, 2013
RG3 on if he has any leg fatigue: "I'm 1 of the guys who haven’t had a day off. That's not b/c I'm stubborn; it's b/c my body's felt good."
— John Keim (@john_keim) August 5, 2013
#Redskins' Griffin on all the attention from the crowd: "You want it to get worse, because that means you're only getting better."
— Zac Boyer (@ZacBoyer) August 5, 2013
Summing up 15 minutes, RG3 is fine and wants to do more.
