METAIRIE — With no real game film to go on, the New Orleans Saints could have been limited in their approach to how they’ll defend Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III in their regular-season opener Sunday.

But Saints interim coach Aaron Kromer said that’s not the case with Griffin, the 2011 Heisman Trophy winner who will make his NFL debut against the Saints in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

“You can go by what you have seen in college and what you have seen in the preseason,” Kromer said of Griffin, who was coveted as a dual pass-run threat when the Redskins made him the second pick of the draft this spring.

“Anytime there’s a new quarterback or a new player, a team wants to play him as much as they can in the preseason to get them used to playing at the NFL speed, and that’s what they have done. He’s gotten plenty of reps, so there is plenty to look at.”

As such, Kromer knows why the Redskins made a trade to jump up in the draft to land the former Baylor star.

“He took Baylor and made them into a powerhouse, which they hadn’t been in a long time,” he said. “When one guy can really change a program, and he has shown he can do it in college, there’s a good chance he can do it in the NFL.”
