Robert Griffin signs with Adidas

Written by Jay Beck

A day after collecting the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback award, Robert Griffin now has some new attire to sport with adidas announcing on Tuesday they had signed the Heisman winning quarterback to an endorsement deal.

Griffin will be debuting the latest adidas gear starting at the NFL combine which is set to commence this week in Indianapolis.

So can he still wear all his Baylor gear whose team sponsor is Nike?  Well, maybe not in public at least, but the new deal ensures Griffin will get plenty of air time on your TV set between now and the NFL draft (April 26th) with adidas also rolling out its first RGIII commercial.

Griffin immediately becomes one of the biggest names in adidas' family of NFL players which also includes the 2011 AP defensive rookie of the year, Von Miller, former number one pick, Mario Williams, and Miami Dolphin running back, Reggie Bush.

Adidas is obviously happy to have Griffin on board.  They are promoting the move on twitter today with a #RG3 hashtag that according to CNBC reporter, Darren Rovell, costs a cool $120 grand to do so.  That might sound expensive, but there's little doubt Griffin will return their investment on that cost in a few split seconds.

Here's a look at adidas' first commercial featuring Griffin.

    Kudos to anyone who gets paid a truck load of money just for wearing a logo.
