Shaquem Griffin Gets Drafted
Good for one hand guy. He found a team. If he plays well I wonder if this will make JPP jealous. Someone else stole all his handicap thunder. 3 1/2 fewer fingers, too.
Every year there is a combine warrior who comes outta nowhere to take the audience by storm because he can lift things good and maybe jump and run well. This year we happened to get a more interesting version of that with Griffin. Shaquem inspired everyone, including Rich Eisen who practically took offense to the fact that he dropped in the draft due to perfectly legitimate concerns.
The Seahawks already had Shaquem’s twin brother, Shaquill. Now their defense has two Shaqs with 3 hands. I hope they get to play together for a while, that’s a really solid story and I’m rooting for them both.
I hope Shaquem has some high football IQ though, otherwise when he’s back there he’s liable to get stumped.
Great hover-text.
I only just noticed his comics have that….
well, that got… kinda gruesome…
Oooh…
I just want to see how he looks in Madden
Jpp has all his fingers in Madden so I bet shaq have his whole hand
Mayock had to break it down to Rich five times on Day 3 why Shaquem Griffin was going in the 5th round.
In 2050 Shaqueef Griffin will be drafted by the Spokane waterbirds
Stumped……funny. Honestly though, the kid seems to have some decent skill. I know he didn’t exactly play against top flight opposition, but he covers his handicap fairly well and seems to have a knack for making plays. I know this is the big leagues, but I think he has the talent to be a serviceable player. I honestly had hoped my Saints would’ve picked him up.
I mean Shaqueem Griffin isn’t just a combine warrior, he’s also pretty damn fucking good at football https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/draft-more-than-a-feel-good-story-ucfs-shaquem-griffin-is-an-excellent-player. He just has one hand and the combine performance helped him not go undrafted.
What I was going to say but I was going to post a link to his tape. Dude seams like a right place right time guy on top of being extremely fast/strong. While he had a few missed tackles his tackling technique looked better than most college players because he didn’t have any other options. Sure taking on pro O-linemen will suck with one hand on run plays but i say maybe play him Mike down the pipe Tampa 2 scheme or situational cover / pass rusher (were he won’t have to take on as much run blocking) and he’ll be okay.
I get all the obvious drawbacks to being one handed, but I saw 3 UCF games this year and dude can ball out. The NFL is way harder and all that, but if he played exactly the same way and had 2 hands he would have been on of the top non-edge rushing defensive picks in the draft. He isnt JPP, it’s not like he is going to be learning to play in a new manner to deal with the freshly lost appendage, there is video proof of what he can do. For so many GMs to falsly thump “all we care about is how they play during the game, we can coach away the rest of the problems” in their pressers it’s just weird that his actual play gets ignored in all the combine talk.
He’s from UCF. Fuck him. JPP>This bozo. USF>UCF War-on-I-4>USFvsUCF
Hey man, calm down a bit. Having lived in Tampa, I get the rivalry, but at the end of the day it’s just a game. No need to spread negativity just because someone wore a different color uniform.
It’s less UCF, but the entire city of Orlando. (Except with Orlando United, that was, the nightclub attack was a tragedy).
The only reason I hate UCF is because they suspended a student for making an illegal immigration joke. Other than that, they’re one of my favorites. McKenzie Milton is from Hawaii like me so I can’t not cheer him
Hey man, I live in Hawaii too! Small world huh?
Preds>Storm! The original I-4 war! Tampa sux! Tampa sux!
Da fun u just say dipshit? It’s on. (Tomorrow, as no one will care for now). Also 5 titles to 2 titles.
He dominated Auburn.
Man, never hire John Landis to renovate your home.
Vic Morrow and the kids learned the hard way after they let him become their barber.
Holy Shit
goddamn
Give him credit Dave, that really wasn’t any darker than your joke and both were funny.
