WASHINGTON (AP) — Hope and hype are on sale with Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III meeting for the first time.

The two top picks in the NFL draft face each other Saturday when the Indianapolis Colts visit the Washington Redskins.

Both teams are selling $35 T-shirts to commemorate the preseason game. Washington defensive lineman Kedric Golston says the buzz is part of the instant-gratification urge to judge the rookies’ careers so quickly.

The third preseason game is considered the dress rehearsal for the regular season. Both quarterbacks are expected to play into the second half.
