ASHBURN, Va. -- Robert Griffin III, the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL draft, spent about 90 minutes Friday afternoon at Redskins Park meeting with team officials, coaches and owner Dan Snyder.
Reuter: Winners/losers from Round 1
Which teams improved in the first three hours of drafting? Which squads took a step back? Chad Reuter has winners/losers. **More ...**
The quarterback and his family flew from New York to suburban Washington in Snyder's plane and were ushered to the team facility by a fleet of town cars and SUVs. The brief meeting is one of a handful of gatherings he'll take part in with the team, the last culminating with his introduction to the public at a fanfest Saturday at FedEx Field.
From that point, Griffin will go home for a few days, then return late next week for a rookie minicamp, in which 25 to 30 players will participate, according to coach Mike Shanahan.
"We've had a chance to spend a little time with him over the last month or so and obviously liked what we saw on film," Shanahan said Friday on NFL Network. "Just a class young man with a lot of athletic ability and a big upside. We're excited to have him."
