Shaquem Griffin is one of the best stories of this year’s NFL Draft. A linebacker out of UCF, he was able to succeed in college playing with one hand. He was also part of a dominant UCF team that went undefeated and won the Peach Bowl last season. Prior to the draft, Nike also signed him to an endorsement deal.
