RG3 Denies Reports That He's Selfish

BRADENTON, Fla. (CBS SPORTS) - On Thursday, a report was published that pegged Robert Griffin III as a player with "a selfish streak." I talked to RG3, who's down at IMG in Florida training at the Gatorade Sports Science Lab, about that report. And he did exactly what you'd think he would do: take the high road.

Asked if he was surprised by such a claim, Griffin said that it's just one of the things that comes with being in the draft, and that the "people who know me... know I'm not selfish."

"You could say [I'm] surprised, but you never know," Griffin said. "It's just, when the draft gets closer, everybody's going to try and find something wrong with you to try and pull you down, so I'm not going to sit here and argue that, well, that guy is dead wrong. But I think the people that know me -- and even in the people in the media have seen -- know I'm not a selfish guy. You know you don't have to fight your own battles -- let other people fight them for you."

"That's about all I can say about that," Griffin said. "I heard it, but it's not something I'm going to address."
