Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden has revealed that Robert Griffin III will enter next season as the starting quarterback for the franchise.

Griffin will be in his fourth season in the league, and ended last year as the starter due to an injury suffered by Colt McCoy.

However, Gruden told reporters at the NFL scouting combine on Wednesday that he has made his decision moving forward.

"We'll go into the season with Robert as our number one guy," Gruden said, according to ESPN.

"It's up to Robert to continue to grow and mature as a quarterback and as a person. Moving forward we want to see improvement. It's up to us as a staff to get more out of him."

The Redskins finished last season with a 4-12 record, with Griffin benched during the campaign for his poor performances.
