Robert Griffin III and his former Washington head coach, Jay Gruden, already had a social media tete-a-tete in which the ex-QB responded to a Gruden post on X (formerly Twitter), sparking some serious, very public beef.
“If I ever put a QB through what Philly is putting Jalen [Hurts] through, I apologize,” Gruden wrote earlier in the week. Griffin replied with a, “Say WHATTTT???” And it went on from there.
Griffin then went back at Gruden on Thursday night, which led to more back-and-forth, including on post that Gruden apparently deleted. Here’s a look what was said, and how this thing keeps escalating:
