Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III has been fined $10,000 by the NFL for his post-game attire after the Redskins’ Week 14 win over the Baltimore Ravens, the NFL announced Wednesday night.

Griffin violated the league protocol by wearing an Adidas sweatsuit and t-shirt to the post-game press conference. Though Griffin has a personal endorsement deal with Adidas, the league’s official equipment sponsorship belongs to Nike. Griffin left that game in the closing stages of the fourth quarter with a leg injury, while backup Kirk Cousins led the Redskins to a crucial win.

    Richard Hurd, a former Baylor basketball player, was arrested for allegedly trying to extort Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III, reports Waco’s KWTX.

    Hurd, 25, was reportedly arrested on Friday and released Monday.

    KWTX reports Hurd’s bond was set at $25,000.

    No information about the alleged plot is yet known. The case is being investigated by the FBI, and as a result, there is no police report. An FBI agent declined comment to KWTX on Monday.

    Hurd was a member of Baylor’s basketball team from 2004 to 2007.

    Griffin, the No. 2 pick in the NFL Draft, won the Heisman Trophy while playing for Baylor last season.
