Cody Kessler, the newest occupant of the Browns' quarterback room, doesn't stand a chance. If Robert Griffin III carries over the kind of footwork and poise under pressure he showed during a recent high school visit to the actual football field, there's no way Kessler can win the starting job.

The Browns recently granted a high school $25,000 to use on new helmets, with Cameron Erving appearing on stage at the school to reveal a look at those new helmets modeled by a mannequin. Except that mannequin wasn't really a mannequin.

It was RG3.

Poise under pressure: Check.

"Let's just say it was really hard not to breathe for that long, but it was fun," Griffin said, per ESPN. "The kids were really excited. I was afraid I was going to head butt the one kid because he was so close. The goal was to scare them, but I didn't want to hit the kid in the face with the helmet -- that probably would have ruined the surprise."

Then, Griffin took part in the Running Man Challenge, a dancing craze (remember the Dab?) that grabbed the world's attention thanks to two Maryland basketball players and social media. The Running Man even made its way to the The Ellen DeGeneres Show, as our Matt Norlander wrote about just a day ago. Seriously, everyone -- from Arizona baseball players to the Cal football team -- is doing it.

Now, even RG3 is pulling out the Running Man. 

Refined footwork: Check.

I'm not sure how much value dancing and posing as a mannequin actually have when it comes to football, but they have to be worth something in the form of intangibles. At the very least, RG3 seems to be enjoying his time in Cleveland, which is a rarity for most quarterbacks and football players, generally speaking.

That's not a mannequin. That's RG3. (Twitter: @Browns)
