The Facts:
Former Redskins quarterbacks coach Matt LaFleur -- now in the same position on Notre Dame's staff -- told ESPN.com's John Keim that Griffin will "be able to recognize and play the position faster" with a full offseason to work on his quarterback craft without rehabbing. "Everybody will see a big jump in his game," LaFleur said, "and he'll look more like he did in Year 1 than in Year 2."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As NFL.com's Chris Wesseling notes, Griffin is expected to lose his bulky knee brace, which cost him his trademark open-field burst in a lost season. Also worth noting; Griffin already has begun working with some of his receivers away from team's facility. ... Losing the brace and gaining a full offseason of tutelage under new HC Jay Gruden has LaFleur confident that Griffin will recapture the same form he displayed as one of the greatest rookies in NFL history. It's not an unreasonable theory. We'll all be watching for signs that's how it'll play out in the coming months.
