When will Shaquem Griffin be drafted?
Posted by Mike Florio on April 27, 2018
One of the best stories in the draft belongs to Shaquem Griffin, a linebacker who had a hand amputated as a young boy. He has become an inspiration for millions; the question remains when will he become an NFL player?
As one league source explained it to PFT, some teams have completely removed him from the board due to the physical condition. But all it takes is one to want him — and all it takes is two to create a market for him.
It’s unclear whether he’ll be drafted tonight. Maybe someone will roll the dice with a compensatory draft pick. His speed at the Scouting Combine was off-the-charts impressive, and he has shown he can play at a high level. Still, some teams can’t get past the basic belief that two hands are needed to play football in the NFL.
Griffin clearly doesn’t need two hands, and he’ll definitely get his chance. Apart from the value he brings as a football player, he’ll be a constant example to his teammates that, no matter how bad of a day they may be having, Griffin has been through much, much worse.

I'll be taking him in the 3rd round. We'll see if the NFL is as smart as I am.

I like what the Bears have done so far also. If Trubisky can develop there may be a change of the guard in the NFC Central.

If there isn't an OT worth it at 87, I'd be thrilled to my bones for us to draft him...ONLY because he's a baller.
When I first looked him up, I had the wrong guy and I thought "this guy is...okay...but who is that OTHER guy who's flashing EVERYWHERE???"
Turns out THAT guy was Shaquem Griffin. I didn't even realize at first that the guy jumping out on the film was him.
That he has a never quit attitude means I love this guy.
He's one of the few players I'll likely root for no matter where he goes (please don't go to an NFC West team unless it's the Rams)...

The Akers kick that cost me 50k was against the niners and when I saw it leave his foot I jumped for joy...so high so straight, from 42 yards. Then it dropped one yard short from the crossbar.
The stunned announcers said it was wind but 2 days later ESPN said it was a camera cable that some dickhead forgot to move so the ball hit the tiny cable and fell short.
Eagles lost at home as 7 point favorites and I only needed them to win without the points to win my 6 team card. Mother fucker

It has also been reported that he lied about being asked if he liked men. Those meetings are video taped. It will come out.

We'll see what happens with the kid. But it just seems odd that there are so many different red flags about one player from such a wide variety of sources. I don't root against people, just their teams, so I don't want to sound negative about him but it's just so much stuff about one kid for it all to be made up.
