Found April 06, 2012 on Gridiron Mayhem:

Even though the NFL Draft is in a couple of weeks, it doesn’t stop the Washington Redskins from learning with their future pick. After Jim Irsay was denied by Griffin’s agent for a private workout, the most likely destination for RGIII will be DC.

With that, the Redskins have been letting Griffin learn their playbook, according to CSN Washington. In fact, Kyle Shanahan will be with Griffin from time-to-time each week to learn the team’s offense. Mike Shanahan will soon follow.

Looks like the transition to the pros may be smooth for the Baylor quarterback:
