Everyone has advice for RG3 …

— BRIAN MITCHELL, former Redskins running back

“Keep your eyes open and your mouth shut. There have been quarterbacks throughout time that ran their mouth a whole lot when they first came to town. It’s a whole lot better when you don’t make a spectacle of yourself.”

— LEN HAUSS, former Redskins center

“Whatever you do, beat the Cowboys.”

— CHRIS PONTIUS, D.C. United forward

“You have the opportunity to play quarterback for what I believe to be the greatest franchise in sports. Enjoy yourself.”

— JOE GIBBS, three-time Super Bowl champion Redskins coach and Hall of Famer

“Don’t lose to the Cowboys. Just don’t lose to the Cowboys.”

— DEXTER MANLEY, former Redskins defensive end

“Throw to Fred Davis.”

— RYAN ZIMMERMAN, Nationals third baseman who has the Redskins tight end on his fantasy team

“I would just tell the guy be who you are. Just be who you are and listen to the people there at Redskins Park to help guide him through what he’ll have to go through this year. He’s a tremendous player and everybody’s going to be tugging and grabbing at him. He’s got to remember there’s only so much he can do that he’s not going to be able to fulfill every request and every appearance that people want, that he’s still have to be the quarterback of the Redskins and be professional with how he goes about things. … And don’t read the papers.He’s probably had a good sense with all the hype he got last year but there’s not a whole lot down in Waco, having played down there.”

— RANDY EDSALL, Maryland football coach

“Just remember to continue to be yourself. You were picked where you were because of your talent and your work ethic. Stay true to that and just continue to keep working.”

— RANDY WITTMAN, Wizards coach
