Report: "Lost" Robert Griffin III Punted Footballs For 40 Minutes After Practice

It's hard to imagine a star athlete feeling sad and lonely, but that's how Washington QB Robert Griffin III looked when he remained on the practice field by himself for 40 minutes after practice ended, just punting footballs back and forth across the field.

According to CBS DC's Chris Lingebach, The Washington Post's Mike Jones told radio host Jason Bishop of 106.7 The Fan on Monday that is exactly what happened this past Friday:

"Last Friday, after practice, [Griffin] was on the field by himself for like 40 minutes, just punting the ball, and running after it, and punting the ball and running after it," Jones said. "The guy looks like he's lost, doesn't know what's going on, and so I did feel bad for him."

"So wait a minute," Bishop said. "He was on the practice field, in the bubble, just punting the ball? Like a kid would, just out in the backyard?"

Jones affirmed this.

"Out there on the practice field," Jones said. "He stayed there. This was outside, after everybody's in the locker room changing their clothes, getting ready to go, and he's just out there for like 40 minutes punting the ball, he'd run after it, punt the ball."

RG3 lost his starting job to Colt McCoy last week, and served as the backup for the first time in his career during the Redskins' 24-0 loss to the St. Louis Rams on Sunday.
