After all the buzz, Robert Griffin III won’t be releasing his tell-all book about the Washington Commanders’ history of negligence.

The former NFL quarterback confirmed on Friday that after taking some time to assess the situation, he would not be having his book published at any point.

However, he would still like to have his story told.

“Through the process of thinking about writing a book, I’ve learned that this an issue bigger than one person,” Griffin said via PFT. “I want to give space to and elevate those who have already come forward, while encouraging those who have not yet to feel empowered to speak. This is a matter that very qualified people are continuing to manage with sensitivity and seriousness, and ultimately, I learned that this book was not the proper forum for this. In time and through a more meaningful method, I hope to address my first-hand experience.”

Robert Griffin III initially said that his “Surving Washington” book would be detailing the instances when he dealt with sexual harassment from members of the team.

“Sexual harassment victims should share their stories when they are ready not when you want them to,” Griffin wrote in the since-deleted reply. “The book is not about other people’s experiences with sexual harassment in Washington. It’s about my experience with sexual harassment in Washington. Hopefully you will listen.”

Since retiring from the NFL, Robert Griffin III has started his second career as a broadcaster.
