Ryan Griffin didn’t really have sticky fingers, but the veteran tight end certainly is embracing his chance to stick around with the Jets.
Griffin, who is emerging as a key offensive contributor in the absence of injured starter Chris Herndon, pretended the football stuck to his hand on a spike during his celebration of a 16-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter of last Sunday’s win against Washington.
The former UConn star insisted Thursday that he had no “Stickum,” which has been banned by the NFL since 1981, or any other substance on his gloves. He only was mimicking a celebration he remembered from playing the Madden video football game in the early 2000s.
