While much of the NFL draft focus has been on Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck, sources say Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III also will declare for the 2012 draft before the Jan. 15 underclassman deadline.
Griffin responded to a text from ESPN.com's David Ubben on Sunday and said he has not decided, but Griffin's father, Robert Griffin II, said Saturday night it's a matter of when, not if.
Robert Griffin III's father said the Heisman Trophy winner is 12 credits short of his master's degree but believes he can finish it without returning to school.
"I met with my son (Friday) and his schedule is pretty much he will attend the Sugar Bowl here in New Orleans, then next weekend he will meet with five agents and select the right agent to represent him and plan a good predraft process," Griffin II said. "After that he will sit down with three of his coaches at Baylor on Wednesday or Thursday (Jan. 11 or 12) and make it official."
Griffin III already has his bachelor's degree ? he graduated in December 2010 with a degree in political science ? and his father said he has considered staying at Baylor to complete his master's.
"He actually has made a strong case to return because he's only 12 hours short of his master's, but he believes he can still accomplish that goal," Griffin II said.
A Baylor spokesperson released a statement Sunday afternoon:
"Robert Griffin III ? the son, the player ? has not made a decision regarding eligibility. He will seek input from coaches later this month, then make his decision."
