Former Minnesota Vikings star Everson Griffen has found himself in some hot water recently. The 12-year NFL veteran was removed from a Delta Airlines flight due to “unruly behavior.” Details are still emerging over this situation, however, photos have been leaked from the incident.

After his alleged “unruly behavior” grounded his jet, Everson Griffen was spotted calmly picking up his bags and leaving the plane:
Check out some pictures TMZ Sports has obtained from Flight DL1902, you can see Griffen in a white hat and white shirt gathering his belongings without much issue, a short time after he was accused of causing a disturbance in the sky.
According to Delta Air Lines, Griffen had exhibited “unruly behavior” on the jet as it was making its way from Chicago to Minneapolis … which forced pilots to return to O’Hare just minutes after they departed the airport.
One person who was on the plane tells us it looked like Griffen was trying to smoke something in the bathroom — which caused a confrontation with flight attendants.

We’re told, though, once the plane touched down, Griffen walked off the plane without incident. Law enforcement figures were then seen on the jet interviewing witnesses.
It’s not clear what happened to Griffen once he got off the ride.
The ex-Minnesota Vikings pass rusher released a statement on the matter on his Instagram page early Thursday morning, writing, “I’m doing just fine.”
“My behavior was not unruly at all,” he added. “Why would they let me go.”
We’ve reached out to Delta Air Lines again for further comment, though so far, we’ve yet to hear back.
