Audio: Griffin Sings Redskins’ Fight Song

Off the football field, Robert Griffin III has the reputation of a smart cookie, who finished high school and college early while juggling the demands of football.  He was also reported to have a fine singing voice, which he used while asking his fiancee to marry him.

In a move that should impress Redskins fans worldwide, Griffin combined the two skills in his interview with Larry Michael on a special draft edition of Redskins Nation.

Nothing like starting off your Redskins career with an abbreviated rendition of “Hail to the Redskins.”

Griffin started off his conference call with the Washington media in the same fashion, which caught the attention of the long-time beat reporters:

RGIII has to be first #Redskins draft pick to open his conference call w/Washington media by singing 1st few bars of "Hail To The Redskins."

Asked RG-3 what he wanted to say to the fans tonight: "Hail to the Redskins. Hail Victory. I'm proud to be a part of the burgundy and gold."

RG3 starts singing Hail to the #Redskins after first question with Washington media.

Not a bad first impression for Redskins Nation.
