VIDEO: Robert Griffin III Already Knows His Base

Redskins fans have had a lot to be excited about with their franchise quarterback, Robert Griffin III, since the team traded from the No. 6 to the No. 2 pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. Griffin won the Heisman Trophy last year, led his alma mater, Baylor, to one of its best seasons in history, and has been known throughout the land for his charisma, charm, and socks.

Griffin sat down with SB Nation’s Dan Rubenstein at the NFLPA Rookie Premiere in California to discuss his already impressive knowledge of the Redskins’ fan base (he already calls it D.C.!), his relationship with “Big Mike” Shanahan, and what he expects to give Redskins fans in his rookie season. All that and... socks!

For more on Griffin and the Redskins, check out Hogs Haven and SB Nation D.C. For other videos from SB Nation’s adventures at the rookie premiere, keep with this StoryStream.
