Former Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III sounded off Tuesday against Santana Moss after the former wide receiver said Griffin took credit for Mike Shanahan’s firing.
Speaking on 106.7 The Fan on Monday, Moss told Chad Dukes that Griffin went from being happy Mike and Kyle Shanahan were fired to being miserable under Jay Gruden. The former wide receiver said Gruden ripped Griffin constantly for not playing to his standards.
Moss also said when it came to Griffin, “you saw one thing and heard another” behind the scenes.
Griffin fired back.
No subtweeting needed

Santana Moss, I treat you like a brother & have always had your back. To openly lie about me is a betrayal…..
Moss said Griffin gloated about Gruden being fired.
“You can’t do that,” Moss said. “… God don’t like ugly, man, so try not to be in those shoes, to be the guy to reap off of someone’s downfall.”
Griffin and Moss were teammate on the Redskins from 2012-2014. The former Redskins quarterback is currently unemployed. He played for the Cleveland Browns last season before being released.
Now, Griffin is speaking up for himself.
Been lied on a lot over the years

Put in an impossible situation w/ a coach who never wanted me. Made players like Santana Moss a believer through hard work, film study…

Showing up early, leaving late, putting in the extra hours, staying after practice & getting extra work in. We won the division that year.

Some so desperately want me to fit this negative narrative that has been pushed about me. But I don’t fit it. Never have. Never will.

Proved it in Cleveland. Voted Captain. Came back to play for my teammates just to help us win 1 game. With a broken shoulder. Stop the lies
