The Washington Redskins acquired the No. 2 pick in the 2012 NFL Draft from the St. Louis Rams late Friday evening, with the intent of drafting Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III in that number two slot. It appears it is not just the Redskins who are enamored with Griffin - the quarterback is also a big fan of head coach Mike Shanahan.
Via Adam Schein of Sirius XM NFL Radio:
"I grew up as a Broncos fan. I would love to play for Coach Shanahan. I love his system." RGIII on SiriusXM Blitz at Combine.
