Robert Griffin III Calls for NFL Street, Def Jam, More to Return with Backyard Sports

Following the announcement that the Backyard Sports video game series is set to return, former ESPN NFL analyst Robert Griffin III gave his thoughts on other games that he'd like to see make a comeback.

Griffin listed NFL Street, Def Jam, SSX and NFL 2K as the series he believes deserve new editions:

NFL Street and NFL 2K provided fans with fun alternatives to the Madden franchise, but neither has been around since the early 2000s. The last NFL Street video game was the third installment in 2006. NFL 2K had six editions, with its last being ESPN NFL 2K5 in 2004.

SSX was a popular snowboarding video game series that hasn't had a new release since 2012. Four fighting video games were released by the Def Jam recording label, culminating with Def Jam: Icon in 2007.

Griffin would be ecstatic if any of these series followed the lead of the Backyard Sports franchise, which will have its first release since 2015 in the coming months.

Reboots of video games, television shows and films have become the norm in recent years, so perhaps Griffin will get his wish with one or more of the games on his list.
