"Alright, Sammy," Griffin said. "I'll see you later."
As NFL.com walked with the Redskins' rookie class through the Hall of Fame, many moments stood out that weren't simply about treasuring players of past. At one point, Griffin pulled out his iPhone to take a photo of a quote from Lynn Swann that was painted onto one of the walls.
"Forget about being MVP; forget about being in the Pro Bowl," the quote reads. "Those things are nice consolation prizes if you don't get a Super Bowl ring."
As he took the photo, Griffin said, "I've got to print that one out."
Only a few minutes later, standing beside a case that showcased a Super Bowl ring from every year's winner, an employee of the Hall of Fame showed the Redskins that they were represented three times in the display.
"That's not enough rings," Griffin said. "We've got to get more."
