Ja'Marr Chase addresses new teammate Mike Gesicki's unique griddy
Paycor Stadium will soon be home to the best, and worst, griddy dances in the NFL.
Former New England Patriots tight end Mike Gesicki is signing a one-year deal worth up to $3.25 million with the Cincinnati Bengals, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Gesicki has had some impressive stats to boot: Playing for the Miami Dolphins in 2021, he caught 73 passes for 780 yards and two touchdowns.
But he's also well-known by fans for his not-so-smooth take on the griddy, a popular touchdown dance started by Allen Davis, a friend of Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase.
Chase has perfected the end zone victory shuffle.
Don’t worry Gesicki, you will now know how to griddy properly 😤

On Tuesday, the Bengals X account poked fun at the paring, asking Chase if he's available for griddy lessons.
Chase played along, writing, "He'll be right before the season. (Mike Gesicki) welcome fam."
