Son of Mariners legend spotlighted in NFL preseason game

Typically we don’t post stuff like this on SoDo Mojo, but this was too cool to pass up. Former Arizona Wildcats wide receiver and son of Mariners legend Ken Griffey Jr., Trey Griffey, earned himself some spotlight on NBC’s broadcast of last night’s preseason matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans.

Griffey, the Mariners’ honorary 24th-round pick in the 2016 MLB Draft, made a solid 23-yard catch along the sideline after Steelers quarterback Josh Dobbs avoided pressure and put the ball on the money. It wasn’t a spectacular play by any means, at least from Griffey’s side of things, but it certainly caught the attention of the NFL’s PR team.
