Redskins, Steelers, Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Ravens, Oakland Raiders, Profootballtalk:"John Beck was unrecognized and turned away at Redskins Park"


Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan is adamant that relatively-unknown John Beck(notes) can be his team's starting quarterback this season. The rest of Washington, DC has been a little slower to embrace him.
Beck showed up to Redskins Park yesterday to try to meet with offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, but he wasn't allowed to enter the building. The security guy at the gate had no idea he was the Redskins quarterback. From Mike Jones at the Washington Post:

Beck was told that players can't report until Tuesday morning, and left slightly disappointed, but not offended.
"I'm OK with that," Beck said of not being recognized when reached this afternoon. "I haven't done anything yet."
