D.C. Athletes Welcome Robert Griffin III To Washington

Now that Robert Griffin III is officially a Washington Redskin, his fellow D.C.-based athletes can finally welcome him to the city. The Nationals and D.C. United took the lead in that regard, having their biggest stars wish the newest one luck.

Stephen Strasburg and Ryan Zimmerman filmed video messages:

Zimmerman welcome message to RG3. #Nationals #Redskins on Twitpic
Strasburg welcomes RG3. #Nationals #Redskins on Twitpic

Meanwhile, Dwayne De Rosario filmed his own message and displayed a custom RGIII jersey to boot (soccer humor):

And then there was Perry Kitchen: 

Smooth.

If you want to welcome RG3 in person, you may have a chance Saturday at the Redskins' Draft Day Party.  Head on over to CSNWashington.com for more information.
