NFL fans loved this heartwarming video of Justin Jefferson teaching a young reporter the griddy

Jefferson made that young man’s week.

The griddy has become Justin Jefferson’s signature move, both in college at LSU and in the NFL with the Minnesota Vikings. So much, in fact, that it was the first question he was asked at the Pro Bowl by Jeremiah, an industrious 10-year-old reporter who first went viral for a sideline interview with Davante Adams earlier this season.

Jeremiah asked Jefferson about his first griddy celebration in the NFL back during the 2020 season, which set the stage for the many that followed. Jefferson’s response was priceless.

“Whose son is this?” Jefferson asked. “How he like this? He’s a smart kid, man.”

Jefferson capped off the interview by teaching Jeremiah the griddy.

It was such a cool moment to see from Jefferson, and NFL fans loved every bit of it.

Jaire Alexander disrespects Justin Jefferson, hits Griddy after incompletion

These two teams are getting chirpy

The Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers rivalry is off to a crazy start on Sunday afternoon and cornerback Jaire Alexander just took it to another level after the referees missed a pass interference call on him.

After said missed pass interference call, Alexander got really cocky and disrespectfully hit the Griddy right in front of wide receiver Justin Jefferson’s face.

Not only did they miss the pass interference call, but Alexander was blatantly disrespectful to Jefferson and it should have been called as unsportsmanlike conduct.

One thing is for sure: these referees are letting these two teams play and it’s going to stay chippy.

Kevin O’Connell promised the team something special if they make the final four

O’Connell has an extra incentive for the Vikings to make the NFC Championship Game

The Minnesota Vikings have made the NFC Championship game four times over the last 25 years and this season has things trending in that direction once again. Pair that with the tremendous camaraderie that the team currently has and things are looking great.

Head coach Kevin O’Connell took that to another level on his appearance on Pardon My Take by promising to hit the Griddy with the team if they make the NFC Championship Game.

The Griddy has been a big part of the Vikings since week three of the 2020 season when Jefferson hit it on a deep crossing route which ended up being his first touchdown.

Since then, the Vikings have seen a myriad of variations of the Griddy, including a team Griddy on Thursday night. Getting Kevin O’Connell to hit one with the team will bring that level of camaraderie to a whole new level.

Watch Kirk Cousins celebrate the win doing the griddy

Cousins seems to have taken dancing lessons in the offseason

The Minnesota Vikings beat the New Orleans Saints 28-25 in a game that was closer than it had any right to be.

The Vikings allowed the Saints to get back into the game and had to rely on two drives from starting quarterback Kirk Cousins to get them into a position to win. Thankfully, they were aided by multiple penalties on the touchdown drive that helped them get the lead.

After the game, Cousins and the Vikings both celebrated the win on the field and Cousins did so in a way that is very familiar to the Vikings: he hit the Griddy.

Egged on by cornerback and special teams ace Kris Boyd, Cousins hit it on his way into the tunnel and it wasn’t half bad. It’s not on the same level as star wide receiver Justin Jefferson but it’s much-improved over his first attempt in week 17 of the 2020 season.

The fun is back in the Vikings locker room and building.

WATCH: Kirk Cousins leads Minnesota Vikings in ‘Griddy’ touchdown dance

The Vikings QB broke out the infamous Griddy touchdown celebration against the Detroit Lions.

Former Michigan State quarterback Kirk Cousins is currently playing the Detroit Lions. After scoring a rushing touchdown for his Minnesota Vikings, Cousins led the team in the now infamous ‘Griddy’ touchdown dance.

The Vikings now-signature touchdown celebration was made famous by their star wide receiver Justin Jefferson. The dance was created by a high school teammate of Jefferson’s.
