The Caw: Robert Griffin III's Family Is Totally Adorbs

As Robert Griffin III spoke with reporters last week, he kept looking beyond them to somebody standing in the back of the crowd. His wife, Grete Sadeiko, was standing there, holding their 1-year-old daughter Gloria, in her arms.

Asked about trying to prove his doubters wrong, Griffin said, "What my wife and daughters think about me is more important to me than what anybody else [thinks]."

Asked about his health, Griffin said, "I feel great. I don't know – maybe it's my wife."

Asked about how much he enjoys having his family there every day at training camp, Griffin said, "My wife is my backbone."

Pretty sure you could hear the "awwwwwws" coming from reporters' notebooks. Then there was this moment yesterday after practice …

In 2012, when Griffin was the No. 2-overall pick taking the league by storm in Washington, D.C., the details of his personal life were devoured by adoring fans.

After Griffin's Washington exit, and a year out of the NFL altogether, I'm here to report that the guy fans fell in love with is still very much the same. And his family is super adorable.

So, let's take a ride back through Griffin's social media presence. I hope you're ready for some PDA …

Griffin started dating Sadeiko – an Estonian heptathlete – in August of 2016 …

Girl you must be an angel. Baby you ain't gotta lie. I can see your halo, looking like you fell from the sky. Girl I got a future planned out for you and I. Where you wanna go? Girl lets take a ride. I see the sun glow when I look into your eyes. Baby girl I ain't nothing like them other guys. I can show you real love. You never had a real love. I'm the type of guy you can vibe with, we can fly high no pilot. Girl you got me all up in my feelings, got your boy tripping. Must be the way them heels fitting in that denim, girl you official. Baby don't be shy no. I wanna hear you tell me I'm yours. Because loving you is not a real issue baby. I just wanna rock with you baby. Girl this is perfect timing. Baby come here let me turn you into a new lifestyle. Wanna take the time out just to show you how I feel. I got so much love to give to you. Girl you know this love is meant for us. You know that I would never give up on us baby. We posting pictures on the gram we in LA. I get butterflies every time I see your face. You just like the sun girl you brighten my day. -Perfect Timing by Fortune-

Soulmate. Love of my life. Better Half. Perfect Someone. These are just a few things you @gretesadeiko represent for me. That smile on your face says it all my sweet and it is reflected on my heart. I am happy. It is the greatest feeling to find the one who believes in love like you do and I have that. I found my peace. You deserve the world and I am honored to be the one to explore it with you and our beautiful baby to be. 😘 I love you baby #Engagement #BabyShower #BabyShowerTurnedEngagementParty #BilingualProposal #YesImWearingaSuitAtTheBeach #Smile #Happiness #BestDayEver #Love

You have changed my life baby. I lost all my hope in love before you showed me that all my dreams weren't just dreams. Now I wake up in the morning knowing my reality is better than my dreams. That is an incredible feeling. Impossible to describe with just words. There is no doubt you have helped me become who I always knew I was. There is no doubt that you were sent to me by God. God knew exactly what I needed. You. I am the happiest man in the world. The luckiest and the most blessed. All because I found the one thing in life that can't be bought. Love. And the time i spend with you, the love of my life, is the highlight of my day. People search a lifetime for what you have provided me with. You are my better half. You have my heart, my body, and my soul for the rest of my days. Thank God for sending you to me. Thank God that I found you. Thank You for being my angel. My dream come true. #Love #Happiness #FirstDayAtTheBeachWithGloria #WCW

There is a right and a left with every shoe-Every King needs his queen and that's so true-She ain't the rubber or the Logo she is the glue-When your shoes don't match and hair is a fool-She still holds it down and stays so cool-Every woman wants the title it is preferred-A true queen is ready to help her king lead the herd A picture worth a thousand words #ArtBasel #Poetry #Love
