It appeared as though several players enjoyed the Pro Bowl festivities this past weekend, included New England Patriots rookie quarterback Mac Jones. Jones ran for a touchdown in the Pro Bowl that didn’t end up counting, but he had fun doing so anyway.
Following his long run, he broke out the “Griddy” celebration dance in the end zone. Naturally, reporters wanted to get the opinions of those who have made the dance famous. During his Super Bowl LVI media availability, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase was asked how he thought Jones did with the dance.
Recording 81 receptions for 1, 455 yards and 13 touchdowns, the rookie has had the opportunity to do the dance multiple times. Evidently, Chase thought Jones’ rendition of the dance was respectable.
“His Gritty wasn’t too bad,” Cincinnati’s star rookie said of the New England Patriots quarterback. “I’ll give him a 6, 6.5. Almost 7.”
