Griffin's Rehab Brings Back Memories of Arenas

Griffin's Rehabs from Knee Surgery.

Robert Griffin's documentary "Will to Win" recently aired on ESPN.  Griffin showcases his road to recovery from not one but two knee surgeries.  Some interesting tidbits from the documentary shows the Redskins trainer using an IPad to record movement and Griffin drives a Nissan as well Griffin's extreme motivation to get back to form.


Griffin's drive to come back reminds me of one Gilbert Arenas who also was said to be making incredible progress after he suffered his knee surgery.  Arenas was coined a gym rat and that offseason's goal was to make over 100,000 shots.

Right now I'm in the middle of making 100,000 shots over 73 days. It's a little mini-series I do. Right now I'm shooting 69.7 percent from the three-point line and I'm shooting 79.3 percent, I think, from the college three.

Arenas also talked the talked saying that he was well on his way back to 100% and also showcased his training program in 2007.



 Currently Arenas is out of the NBA and playing basketball in China.   Bottomline, Griffin will have to show his results in order to really show that he's recovered and also must improve his decision making to avoid hits.
