This guy has a lot of talent and should have an immediate impact with the Redskins. The fans already love him, he takes the time to sign autographs, invited many of them to the movies and he did well during OTA’s.
Guice will be a player to watch this preseason. If he does well, he could be in line for quite a few carries in the nation’s capitol.
