Recently a 19 year old and a 22 year old have been taking DC by storm. Both of these guys have been lead stories on Sportscenter and have even made apperances on the Jay Leno show. If you havent figured it out yet I'm talking the Washington National's Bryce Harper and the Washing Redskins newly drafted RGIII. These guys have already made huge impacts on this city that has recently struggled in almost every major sporting league. These guys have brought hope back into the city for their perspective teams. Bryce Harper has been making the most recent impact so far keeping the Nationals atop the NL East. Not to mention he will get his first taste of one of the best rivalries in the MLB when the Nationals take on Beltway rival the Baltimore Orioles this weekend. RGIII impact has been mostly off the field at this point. With Recent appereances on Sportscenter and on late night television, he is helping put the Washington Redskins name out there.
I think when it is all said and done RGIII will have the biggest impact on this city. I do think Bryce Harper and the Nationals will be the first DC team to make it into the playoffs and may even go pretty far into October. I just think the Washington Redskins are the premiere team in this area and after it is all said and done RGIII will take the Skins to a surprising Super Bowl Championship. It may be 5 or so years down the road but I think with RGIII's mature attitude and leadership he will take this team to a level that they have never been. Remember this is a Heisman trophy winner. Hold on tight DC Sports fans we have some exciting years ahead....
