Redskins | Robert Griffin has plenty to learn
Sat, 26 May 2012 05:30:58 -0700

Washington Redskins WR Santana Moss believes QB Robert Griffin III has the talent to be successful; however, he will need time to develop. "It's one of those situations where he is a young guy and at the end of the day, regardless how much his skill level is better than other young guys like himself, he still has to learn a lot," Moss said. "So that's one thing I want everyone to understand that he comes here with the big hope of turning everything around. We are all hoping that. We all want that, but I don't want that pressure on him as if he has to be the one. Together we have to be a team around him to help him bring us to where we have to be at."
