Washington Redskins deny Robert Griffin III, Mike Shanahan rift

By , Reporter
Washington Redkins' general manager denies a rift between Mike Shanahan and Robert Griffin III.

Washington Redskins general manager Bruce Allen has insisted that there is no rift between head coach Mike Shanahan and quarterback Robert Griffin III.

Shanahan is slow-playing RG III's return from injury, despite the player insisting that he is ready to return, but Allen denied that this has strained their relationship.

"We have a very competitive player who's dying to play football, and we have an experienced coach who is doing the right thing," ESPN quotes Allen as saying.

"I know somewhere Billy Kilmer and Sonny Jurgensen are laughing that we created a quarterback controversy with Robert Griffin."

Griffin has recently returned to full training.
