Grier was emotional after the game while speaking to the media.
“[It’s] bittersweet man, just close to a lot of these guys,” Grier said in the locker room postgame on Saturday, choking back tears. “That’s the hardest part. I mean, it was up and down, I was motivated. It was tough. It was a weird situation. And I think at the end of the day, I just relied on the fact that I know how to play football and I’m good at it. So I knew when the game started, I could just play football and that is what I did.”
A teary-eyed Will Grier bid his farewell to Dallas in spectacular fashion on Saturday night, as he cemented a legendary preseason performance with 358 total yards and 4 total touchdowns in a 31-16 win.
His emotion was on full display after the game.
