ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter is making sure his next attempt at the Griddy, a popular dance, fares better than his first.
During a pregame show on ESPN before a Monday Night Football game between the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears in 2022, Schefter attempted—emphasis on the word attempted—to hit the Griddy with Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who has made the dance his signature celebration, watching.
Schefter later revealed he tore his meniscus, indicating that it was likely the attempted Griddy that caused his injury. On Sunday, ESPN had Jefferson on air for an interview, and Schefter took full advantage, asking the Vikings star for Griddy tips in an amusing video.

Jefferson told Schefter to “just watch the game,” implying that he intends to be celebrating a touchdown during Minnesota’s contest against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
The Vikings star kept his word, too, by scoring and performing the Griddy just before halftime of the game at US Bank Stadium.

Any tips the Vikings wideout can provide certainly will help Schefter, who can only improve in terms of his ability to perform the Griddy.
