“It will come,” Gruden said. “He’s got the ability to do it, he’s got the smarts to do it, he’s got the wants to do it. He’s just got to do it.”
“I’ve learned that not everybody’s going to like you, and that’s just the nature of the business,” Griffin said. “You just have to move on from that kind of stuff. I think Jay being here has helped me grow as a person. Trust me, I’m not worried about anybody liking me.
