Robert Griffin III has turned a successful playing career into an even more successful sports analyst career. A lot of his popular content is through social media.
Many enjoy his blend of humor and sports knowledge, but sometimes, even the most successful can’t escape being made fun of.
On Friday, while enjoying the Olympics, he went to X to post a photo of him and his wife, Grete, enjoying an oversized croissant with the caption, “It’s always Croissant O’Clock in Paris.”

Of course, though, what was supposed to be just a light-hearted joke between him and his wife turned into everyone on social media making fun of him for how ridiculous he looked in the photo.

Of course, though, as he usually does, Griffin didn’t take all the jokes too seriously, even commenting under the post, “Can’t even eat a croissant with your wife anymore on this app.”
Robert Griffin III Praises Former Head Coach John Harbaugh
As a former player, Robert Griffin III can give a lot of amazing insight into the NFL that many other analysts can’t simply due to a lack of experience.
In the rankings, he puts his former Ravens head coach, John Harbaugh, number two, just behind Andy Reid, and doesn’t stop the praise.
“John Harbaugh is the best coach I ever played for in the NFL. ALWAYS has his player’s back, sets the tone everyday so you know what is expected and breeds an environment of toughness that gives his teams an identity. Does everything he can to help Lamar reach his potential,” he said.
