Robert Griffin III would offer Chargers a backup QB with mobility

COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said training camp will be all about competition, even at the quarterback position.

Well, it appears that Lynn stayed true to his word. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that former Cleveland Browns and Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III is scheduled for a workout with the Chargers on Tuesday.

The starting quarterback for the Chargers for the past decade, franchise quarterback Philip Rivers, is signed through the 2019 season and not going anywhere. However, the Chargers could be looking for a more mobile signal caller to back up Rivers, who is not known for his ability to escape outside the pocket.
