Role model?

"He’s a kid, still, in a lot of ways. He wants to show that he can take a licking and keep on ticking. But that’s a head in his helmet, not a Timex " Tracee Hamilton, Washington Post, October 8, 2012

This refers of course to Robert Griffin III just a day after his aggressive play which ended in a concussion and a short rest from game play--a length of time which itself has since stirred controversy.
