I kind of think theres something to RG3 refusing to work out for the Colts. I know a lot of people are saying there isn't but there was a point where Griffin was intent on competing essentially to the death to be the number 1 pick.

I propose that somewhere along the way he realized that wasn't as important as going to the team he felt most comfortable with (probably when the Redskins traded up). Maybe it's because he grew up a Bronocs fan and was excited about playing for Shanahan, maybe he wasn't excited about the prospect of playing with the Browns and when the Skins traded up he was relieved, maybe Shanahan sold him on his system over the course of their many meetings.

Either way I think that if he was still intent on competing to be that top pick he would have accepted the Colts invitation for a private workout.

I mean it is kind of weird that soon after this story came out the Redskins told everyone about how they never even asked for a workout.

Anyway theres a multitude of reasons but I think that for one reason or another Griffin decided he wanted to be a Redskin and the most polite way of telling the Colts that was to refuse all invitations for private workouts. That or he knew the Colts had pretty much decided on Luck and he didn't want to be used as potential leverage.
