Louis Riddick to Replace Robert Griffin III on ESPN Broadcast Crew


On Tuesday, ESPN announced its replacement pick to fill the void left by Robert Griffin III after his unexpected firing.

The company turned to longtime ESPN personality Louis Riddick to replace Griffin alongside Bob Wischusen and Kris Budden.

 

The group announced the firing of Griffin III on August 15th, which came as a bit of a shock to the college football world. While no explanation has been given from either side, RG3 made a cryptic social media one day after his firing with the caption, “Nothing in this world is worth selling your soul for.”
