There are two verified user accounts on Twitter under the name of Ryan Grant. Neither of them belongs to recent free agent wide receiver Ryan Grant, who appears to not be on Twitter at all.
But one of those accounts does belong to one-time Redskins running back Ryan Grant, who has had a good time fielding everyone's emotions over the plight of his younger counterpart:
The elder Grant played one game for the Redskins in 2012, taking one handoff for five yards. Even acknowledging that this was an experience that he wasn't going through, fans of the younger Grant still wished him well and hoped that he would re-sign with the team.
It's like he can't convince people that he isn't the Ryan Grant that they're looking for. So at least he's having fun with it:
Perhaps the better (or worse) part is that the elder Grant, who has not played a down since 2012, is being mistaken for his rekindling his NFL aspirations:
As the elder Grant noted, there's nothing wrong with welcoming someone to town, showing support for someone who is down. But if you really want your message to get to the right Ryan Grant, it's probably a good idea to check before you tag him in a tweet.
