Robert Griffin III and Jay Gruden Continue Feud on Social Media
A social media feud between former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III and his former head coach Jay Gruden has escalated in recent days. The public rift began when Gruden made a comment about another quarterback’s struggles, prompting Griffin to fire back. The dispute has now spilled over to their respective podcasts and social media accounts.
The root of the issue goes back to their time together with the Washington Redskins. Griffin explained that Gruden publicly criticized him during a press conference, despite asking Griffin to challenge his teammates in the media. This lack of support from the coach caused a breakdown in their relationship.
Since then, the two have been exchanging jabs on social media. Griffin shared a picture of himself looking perplexed, questioning Gruden’s coaching abilities. Gruden responded by questioning Griffin’s preparedness, leading to a back-and-forth exchange.
The feud has drawn attention from other former players as well. Brian Mitchell, a former Washington player, and Gruden got into a heated exchange on social media, with both individuals criticizing each other’s abilities. The tension between Griffin and Gruden continues to escalate, with no signs of it subsiding.
Griffin, who is currently working as an analyst for ESPN, has not ruled out a return to the NFL. However, for now, he seems focused on addressing his strained relationship with Gruden and making his voice heard.
