Shaquem Griffin

[blueblood70]

These guys haven't watched him. You can make plays in this league with one hand. I've seen guys play with a cast and make plays with one hand. I've seen bums play with two hands as well.

JPP does it and worse he wasn't born with it,,this kid has played his whole life with it , he for sure has no issues making plays, lifting, etc etc..

From what I've read people seem to be worried about him being Juked and unable to tackle. The loss of that hand just might make him a better tackler, most missed tackles in the NFL are because players are trying to grab. A form tackle uses legs to drive, shoulders to hit and arms to wrap up... he's going to be fine.

Yeah, I think he'd be a quality linebacker for us, and he'd be a steal in round 4 for us.

Get prepared, this is going to blow up over the next few days.

He will be a full blown celebrity.

Might even have commercial endorsements before the draft.

You seem to be bothered....

You seem to be bothered....

Not by Griffin, at all. He earned his.

More the over the top reaction because people now acknowledge his situation.

He has been dealing with it for a while.

Jerry would draft a one handed player, I have no doubt about that!

I’m the second round.. In a heartbeat.

Pick 50 - Shaquem Griffin, OLB, Central Florida

Thoughts?

I wouldn’t take him in the top 3 rnds
But the kid can play football
If he’s there in the 4th I’d be all over him
He has more sacks than most of the pass rushers in this draft had
I think I could find a way he could contribute to a football team

Well, we know what Jourdan thinks.

This kid can flat out play. He would help this team immediately. I dont care about the hand thing.

I sort of want to make a remark about this (I agree with you btw) involving a nickname, but I hope it's not offensive. In fact, I think it'd be a cool nickname for him.

Talk about a riser bass on the combine

If you think that you simply did not watch him play the last two years.

 

[Avery]

I'd take him in the third day only. I think a team will pull the trigger in round three.

I just see too many tackles by LB's where they extend with one hand to make me go higher.

The worldwide media hasn't really covered him though. Better now than never?

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Let remember a lot of times players are simply stopping ball carriers momentum until help from other players

Pick 50 - Shaquem Griffin, OLB, Central Florida

Wouldn’t be mad. There’s risk there obviously but the tape he has is special as a footballer.
