The recovery of Robert Griffin III continues to get rave reviews from his orthopedic surgeon, Dr. James Andrews.

Last month at the Scouting Combine, Andrews said Griffin’s recovery from torn anterior cruciate and lateral collateral ligaments in his right knee was “way ahead of schedule.”

Then, in an interview with ESPN’s Stephania Bell on Friday, Andrews described Griffin as “superhuman” in his ability and motivation to recover. Andrews put South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore in the same category. Lattimore hopes to get drafted next month as he rehabs from a second torn ACL.

Andrews compared the rehabs of Griffin and Lattimore to those of Bo Jackson and Adrian Peterson.

When he ended his life last year by shooting himself in the chest, Junior Seau had a degenerative brain disease often linked with repeated blows to the head.

Researchers from the National Institutes of Health said Thursday the former NFL star’s abnormalities are consistent with chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE.

The hard-hitting linebacker played for 20 NFL seasons with San Diego, Miami and New England before retiring in 2009. He died at age 43 of a self-inflicted gunshot in May, and his family requested the analysis of his brain.

Police identified the second victim in the murder-suicide as 22-year-old Kasandra M. Perkins. Perkins died in a hospital of multiple gunshot wounds. She was Belcher’s girlfriend and mother of their 3-month-old daughter.

There was no immediate information on a motive in the slayings.

Kansas City police spokesman Darin Spann said Belcher shot Perkins at a suburban home and then drove five miles to the team’s practice facility in Kansas City, Mo. Confronted by Chiefs personnel with police arriving on the scene, Belcher thanked general manager Scott Pioli and coach Romeo Crennel for their help.

Belcher then stepped away, put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger.
