The First Ever One-Handed NFL Player | Shaquem Griffin | SC122

In 2018, the Seattle Seahawks did something that would be spoken about for years to come. They drafted the first ever One-Handed player in NFL history. Today, that player tell his story. Shaquem Griffin was born with a condition that ultimately led to his left hand being amputated. Despite the obvious doubts, Shaquem was determine to do 2 things. - Become the first One-Handed player to receive a full scholarship to a D1 Football Program. - Become the first One-Handed player drafted into the NFL. Shaquem not only did both but he dominated at every level along the way. We discuss how Shaquem's parents refused to allow pity into their home, how his brother (Superbowl Champion) Shaquill Griffin put his career on the line for Shaquem's success and THAT NFL Combine performance where he ran a 4.38 40 yard dash (fastest ever for a linebacker) and 20 reps on the Bench Press (using a prosthetic hand).
