Georgia Poole, who will turn 100 on Aug. 26, gives Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III a kiss.

Redskins superfan Georgia Poole will turn 100 years old on August 16, meaning she could be the oldest Redskins fan in the world. She was certainly the oldest fan at training camp Wednesday, and her favorite player — Robert Griffin III — gave Poole an early birthday present.

Before meeting the quarterback, Georgia predicted, "I'd be so excited, I'm not sure what I'd say." When Griffin wandered over, though, Poole didn't struggle for words. As Griffin signed autographs, Poole reassured him the the Redskins are "going to the Super Bowl this year!"

Poole also issued the recovering quarterback a warning: "You be careful, don't get hurt."
