Robert Griffin III is poised to resume his NFL career about 35 miles away from where he started it.

The former Washington Redskins quarterback has reached agreement on a one-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens, who want him to back up Joe Flacco.

"Obviously, his personality, he's a confident guy. He's a very talented quarterback," coach John Harbaugh said of Griffin, 28, on Wednesday. "He's had a lot of success in this league early on. We're excited about it."

Griffin's last previous stop in an injury-riddled career came in 2016 with the Cleveland Browns when he started five games. He is expected to sign with the Ravens next week.
