RGIII could have pulled an Elway and threatened not to sign if drafted by Washington and/or make them trade him.  Remember, Washington actually traded up to draft him.  He was probably athletic enough that he could have played another sport.  Moreover, if I recall, he had an interest in going to law school.

Wasn't he already in law school his final year?

He was in a Master's program:

Griffin, who graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science with a 3.67 grade point average in December 2010, began pursuing a Master's in communications in 2011.[24][25] On January 11, 2012, Griffin officially announced his intention to enter the 2012 NFL Draft.[26]
