Shaquem Griffin (UCF LB w Only One Hand) Rd 5 to Seattle

Submitted by Mike Damone on

Continuing inspirational story of talented, blazing fast LB, who had left hand amputated as a child, getting drafted pretty high.  To play at this level with one hand is absolutely incredible.  How can you not root for this guy?

Interestingly - was the pick right after Mo Hurst.  Hope they both show all the skeptics and have great careers.

Had ESPN's coverage on in the background, and they've been talking to the brothers and the family quite a bit now and I have still not grown tired of this story - it is a truly great story. Hopefully, he has a great career in the NFL, and even better, he gets to do what he always wanted and play on the same team with his brother.

Remember watching him against UM and was amazed that he was legit. Probably that one guy who really CAN whip your ass with one arm tied behing his back!
