Shaquem Griffin, the Seattle Seahawks’ one-handed linebacker, is primed to prove he’s not just a feel-good story
Shaquem Griffin, a Seattle Seahawks linebacker, is out to prove he’s more than an inspirational player this NFL season. He says his on-field performance as a rookie last season was overshadowed by his feel-good back story.
Mr. Griffin’s left hand was amputated at age 4, the result of amniotic band syndrome, a congenital birth defect. His father, Terry Griffin, still put him through the same football drills as his twin brother, Shaquill Griffin, and even adapted gym equipment so the boys could work out together.
