So I'm not sure if this is the team simply wanting their own private showing or if they will be discussing more. IF RG3 did refuse to go see them then there could be many things derived from that.

I think you pulled that out of thin air. Any source on RGIII refusing to do a private workout with the Colts? If anything, it's the Colts that are responsible for no private workout being given. That's because they have a owner who's already dead set on Luck since he most likely mirrors the image of Peyton.

All I can find is some chatter on Twitter that RG3 turned down ALL private workouts, letting his combine and pro day stand on their own.

So to clarify, he did not specifically turn down just the Colts.

Beat me to it. But yeah that's what it is. Confirmed it with Baylor just now

This is slightly curious. Since it's pretty clear he's coming here (forget Wilbon, he is just backing up what his boy McBust said and is equally bitter) I wonder why he didn't want to come in and do a private workout with the Redskins. I guess it really doesn't matter at the end of the day.

I think he declined all workouts because he thinks there is nothing left for him to prove to any team. He knows the lowest he's going is 2nd overall, you can see everything you need to see on the field in his game tape, and he's probably interviewed with plenty of teams at the combine already.

It could also mean Griffin prefers the Skins to Colts, right?

I think you're reading too far into it. In all his interviews Griffin has stated his desire to go first overall. Does that mean he'll be angry if he falls to us? Probably not, but I'm sure he knows the odds are against the Colts taking him with the way things have happened.

I retract my "pulled out of thin air" statement made to SBVIII then. Kind of odd he decided no private workouts with any teams.

I guess more than anything it confirms what we already knew.

Luck to Indy, RG3 to the Skins.

The Skins were sold the moment they traded up. What's the point in wasting everyone's time in working him out.

Redskins never requested -- and will not request -- a private workout with RG3, feeling they saw what they needed at his pro day.
