Redskins fans have another Griffin to cheer for this season. The wife of quarterback Robert Griffin III gave birth to the couple's first child — Reese Ann Griffin — today. 

The baby girl entered the world weighing 9 pounds, 5 ounces. RGIII took to social media to announce the arrival of his new bundle of joy to his 1.23 million Twitter followers.

The newly minted father used the occasion to break his Twitter silence. He hadn't posted anything since Feb. 12, when he put up a picture of him kissing the belly of his pregnant wife, Rebecca.
