MINNEAPOLIS -- Months after the conclusion of his standout rookie season, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is being immortalized beyond the NFL's record books.
The Fortnite video game will include as an emote "The Griddy," the toe-tapping touchdown celebration Jefferson brought with him from LSU to the pros. The dance's inclusion in the game will come Wednesday, according to the Epic Games website.
Jefferson is the first NFL player to be featured in Fortnite, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The NFL and Epic Games, the developer of Fortnite, began a partnership in November 2018 to make gear, known as skins, available for all 32 teams in the game's Battle Royale mode.
