Everson Griffen “comfortable, happy” after dealing with personal issues

Last season didn’t go the way that Everson Griffen envisioned. After getting off to a solid start in the team’s first two games, Griffen missed five games following a string of incidents that led to the Minnesota Vikings telling him to stay away from the team until they decided he was ready. He eventually returned to the team, but didn’t look quite the same as he had in the past.

In a press conference on Tuesday, the second day of the team’s offseason program, Griffen addressed the media and acknowledged that he wasn’t the same player following the incident, but declared that he’s feeling much better and is ready to get back into form in 2019.
