Well, that didn’t take long.
The Washington Redskins have apparently made second overall pick Robert Griffin III their starting quarterback after one rookie mini camp. I’m a big fan of competition, but I also don’t think there was any question about this. Griffin III was the starting QB of the Redskins when they traded three first round picks to get him.
I also feel like Griffin looks pretty good in the Redskins colors, but that’s just me.
The last time Mike Shanahan made a declaration like this was when he declared Ryan Clady would start at left tackle for the Broncos, and Clady wound up having a fantastic rookie season.
I think RG3 will have a learning curve, but he will be extremely exciting to watch. Be sure you check out a full recap of the Redskins’ offseason by Jesse Bartolis at NFLMocks.com, which just came out today.
