Luka Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 If you watched the Knights defeat Auburn earlier today, you most likely saw Griffin flying all over the field, making plays. Somehow, I missed the fact that he was missing his left hand. I'm not going to say we should draft him but boy does he fit character wise. Read the story here.

NoSaint Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 He’s one that I’m very curious to see transition to the Nfl. I have no concept of how only having one hand will effect his draft stock or viability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEBills Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 He will drop because of it, unfortunately. It really hasn’t stoppes him yet tho. Personally, hope he goes to Seattle to be with his bro since they are so close. But would def be a big fan if he was a Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally feel like I have a decent grasp on how various issues effect draft stock but this ones a unique situation for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally feel like I have a decent grasp on how various issues effect draft stock but this ones a unique situation for sure Coming out of Iowa, Adrian Clayborn fell down to the bottom of the first round because he was born with a short arm which made teams concerned he could only rush from one side of the line. He certainly never became a star. And JPP blew off some of his fingers too but has been about the same productivity. Griffin has a far bigger handicap - and isn’t a Dlineman, I’d expect him to be no better than a 6th rounder due to it but probably an UDFA who will need to prove it doesn’t stop him in practice and preseason. Root for the kid, but def understand teams sliding him down their boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalobloodfloridahome Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 We'd be lucky to have someone with his heart and determination Play linebacker for us he can fly and cover like a safety but, tackles like linebacker. UCF alum here btw On another note even though I generally pull for Bortles this weekend I wanna see him do what he's been doing most of his career and throw picks.

26CornerBlitz Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 BACK 2 CAMPUS Griffin Ready to Prove Everyone Wrong UCF LB Shaquem Griffin had his left hand amputated at age 4, but that hasn't shaken his dream of joining twin brother Shaquill in the NFL. In fact, he wants to make opponents forget how many hands he has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMDman Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 What would he play in a 4-3, want he a 3-4 OLB at UCF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I mean we see good players start with hand injuries that would prevent grabbing. So in theory this kid could still play at a high level- and he’d be totally comfortable in the technique. Its an interesting situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostbitmic Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Watching the Auburn game all I heard all day was Griffin, Griffin again, Griffin again, I didn't even know he only had one hand. I'd love to see him go to the Seahawks and play with his brother, they say identical twins can read each others minds and a buddy of mine who has identical twins tells me it's true. It would be cool to see. I think he will get drafted in the 4th or 5th round and wouldn't be upset with the Bills being the team to pull the trigger on him. Play him on special teams and as a SS/LB hybrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
