    "Robert Griffin III believes that the Indianapolis Colts finalized their plans to draft Andrew Luck first overall after Griffin declined the Colts' request for a private workout.

    Luck has long been touted as the best quarterback in the draft, and the favorite to go to the rebuilding Colts. But Griffin believes he still had a chance to go first overall until a couple of weeks ago.

    Griffin and Luck both had impressive Pro Days, but the Colts wanted to host both for private workouts to take final looks at each passer. Luck obliged. Griffin did not.

    After Griffin turned the Colts down, the team stopped showing interest in him, he said.

    "They offered me a private workout and we refused. I didn't do any private workouts for anybody," Griffin said. "After that, I think feelings might've been hurt or something like that. I went to D.C. on a visit and [Indianapolis] didn't offer a visit at all, and so we kind of knew what direction they were going. But Andrew's their guy. You can't be mad about that.""
