Redskins fans give RG3 a standing ovation during event

Robert Griffin III may not be the team’s starting quarterback anymore, and his franchise may be falling to pieces around him, but he received a nice token of appreciation from the organization’s fans during an official luncheon on Wednesday. The assembled crowd stood and applauded for 15 seconds before his speech.

According to ESPN:

Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III, who entered the team’s Welcome Home Luncheon with new starter Kirk Cousins, was later given a 15-second standing ovation when he had the stage to himself in what could be his final week as a member of the franchise.

Griffin, though, steered clear of any speculation surrounding his job situation during a 40-second speech after receiving the Redskins’ Salute Award for his involvement with the military community.
