Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki has gotten lots of humorous and playful reactions from his version of “the griddy,” the dance he attempted after his touchdown in Miami’s comeback victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

Gesicki has enjoyed the attention, and the laughs.

“I was too excited,” he said of his version of the dance most famously done in the NFL by Minnesota wide receiver Justin Jefferson.

“I hit it in about fast forward. So maybe [I should] slow it down. But that’s what I do. I have fun. I enjoy myself. I had an opportunity to make a play, made the play and then was able to celebrate it.”

Coach Mike McDaniel had a video cutup made of other poor attempts at doing the dance and showed it to the team. McDaniel said he wanted players to know Gesicki didn’t necessarily give a bad effort.

“There could be worse,” McDaniel deadpanned, “but it was in the family of ‘worse,’ if that makes sense.”

Defensive lineman Christian Wilkins applauded Gesicki’s attempt.

“That was, wow, it was interesting,” Wilkins said with a smile. “I give Mike props for the effort. He gets an ‘A’ for effort but the execution was pretty bad. That was pretty funny. I appreciate all the laughs I’m getting seeing it on social media everywhere.

“Mike’s one of my best friends so I give him an ‘A’ for effort.”

As for the video McDaniel showed the team, Wilkins liked it.

“That was really funny, that was really on point,” Wilkins said. “We all got a good laugh out of that one. I didn’t see Mike laughing too much, but I thought it was pretty funny.”
