President Barack Obama on Saturday met with Washington Redskins star quarterback Robert Griffin III while the two were at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. for an NCAA Tournament game between the Syracuse Orange and Marquette Golden Eagles.
A photo of the meeting between Obama and the former Heisman Trophy winner was posted on Twitter by Jake Russell, a writer for the Redskins fan website TheHogs.net. Russell subsequently tweeted that he only found the picture.

@lukewahl @recordsandradio I asked to cite it, was told not to but I could share the pic. I would’ve cited it if the person wanted me to.
