Police arrived at Griffen’s residence after the defensive end posted a video with a gun, alleging someone was trying to kill him.

The 33-year-old pass rusher has a history of mental health struggles. Three years ago, Griffen stepped away from the Vikings for five games due to personal issues.

Thankfully, no harm was done to anyone involved in Wednesday’s matter. Vikings teammate Dalvin Cook took some time at his press conference to talk about checking in on those around you.

.@dalvincook‘s important answer about mental health when asked about his teammate, Everson Griffen:

“Checking on your loved ones, your brothers, the tough ones that don’t show signs of being weak … Just making sure they’re OK. That’s important in today’s world.” pic.twitter.com/DxrkGFY0JM
