WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Call him Robert Gryffindor III.
College football star-turned-broadcaster Robert Griffin III got into the Halloween spirit for Saturday’s Florida State-Wake Forest game, donning a costume straight out of Hogwarts.
Griffin, whose wizardry at quarterback at Baylor University earned him the Heisman Trophy in 2011, wore a robe, vest, wig and glasses and carried a broomstick, USA Today reported.

Griffin was paired in the ESPN pregame with Kris Budden, who attempted to pass herself off as Taylor Swift wearing a Travis Kelce jersey.
Griffin, 33, a creative college football quarterback and the No. 1 pick by Washington (second overall) in the 2012 NFL draft who had a seven-season stint in the pros, was much more imaginative.
HALLOWEEN is around the corner and #4 @FSUFootball faces their nemesis @WakeFB Tune in on @ABCNetwork at 12 pm ET. Come kick it with @espnbob , @KrisBudden and myself talking ball and having fun 🏈. FSU has lost 3 in a row to Wake Forest. Can they exercise that Demon? pic.twitter.com/4AV0lyWWq8

Griffin’s costume choice turned out to be magical for Florida State, as the No. 4-ranked Seminoles rolled over Wake Forest 41-16.
