EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. —
A little more than two years ago, Michael Griffin congratulated Jerry Gray on being hired in Minnesota.
A little more than a month ago, Gray reached out to check on the player he coached for three seasons (2011-13) in Tennessee.
On Monday, the Vikings defensive backs coach welcomed the safety to Winter Park and the Vikings family.
Griffin, a first-round pick by Tennessee out of Texas in 2007, was released by the Titans in February. It was a tough moment for a player who missed just three games in nine seasons.
