what's going to be the hardest part? >> you know, just earning the trust of my teammates. that's always the hard thing. when you're top pick, a lot of people assume automatically you're the leader of the team. automatically that everyone has to accept the fact you're their quarterback. you have to earn their respect. and it might not be a hard thing, but that's the first obstacle i face, aside from running the offense. >> and many of those teammates were out there actually today. caps jersey. some other defensive backs there, as well. and receivers there to meet their new quarterback. redskins making more quarterback news this afternoon. parting ways with john beck and drafting another qb. the skins picked up michigan state's kirk cousins in the fourth round. it was a surprising move, but mike shanahan told cousins they just couldn't pass him up. here's a look at what the redskins have done in the draft, of course. rg3 the first pick for the skins at quarterback. josh le ribeus, kirk cousins, keenan robinson, a linebacker and adam gettis, offensive lineman out of iowa. they pick up alfred morris, running back from fau. and tom compton from south dakota. in the seventh round, richard crawford, from smu and jordan bernstein, a defensive back from iowa. and let's not forget, bryce harper, the 19-year-old hitting prodigy, making his major league debut tonight. this is interesting, because he really didn't play great in the minors, but they decided to call him up anyway. we'll see what he can do in the show. >> hollywood story out in l.a. against the dodgers. >> perfect fit, right?
