Robert Griffin, III, the Baylor quarterback who won the Heisman Trophy, will declare for the NFL Draft.

The deadline to declare for the draft as an underclassmen is Jan. 15. Griffin is a junior.

A decision at this time to pursue the NFL would not be a surprise.

If Griffin does enter the draft, he’ll be a first-round pick and could even force the discussion about whether he should go ahead of Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck.
