Redskins' Will Compton thrilled after learning Kevin Durant knows who he is
Even athletes get starstruck sometimes.
After Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant sent out a congratulatory tweet to the Washington Redskins on Sunday, cornerback DeAngelo Hall returned the favor:
@KDTrey5 @Redskins no doubt bro. We appreciate the support. Y'all keep balling too

Redskins linebacker Will Compton, who went from backup to full-time starter this season, noticed the exchange and decided to use it as an opportunity to meet Durant:
@DeAngeloHall23 @KDTrey5 @Redskins yo, d-hall you know KD?? Geez.. you think he knows who I am yet?
Introduce me, but be cool about it..

Hall found it amusing that Durant wouldn't know who Compton was, considering how big of a Redskins fan he is:
@_willcompton @KDTrey5 @Redskins yeah Comp I think he knows the starting MLB of his favorite team man!!!!!! Lol

Compton urged Hall to "be cool," but had a hard time staying cool himself after Durant assured him that he knows who he is:
@DeAngeloHall23 @_willcompton @Redskins haha my guys, cmon comp don't insult me like that man. Of course I know you bro! Big fan

Dang he called me "Comp" and "bro"!
