Linebacker Shaquem Griffin announced his retirement from the NFL on Wednesday, writing for The Players' Tribune that he is looking forward to helping others as part of the NFL Legends Community.
Griffin, who had his left hand amputated at age 4 because of amniotic band syndrome, a congenital condition, became the first player with one hand to be drafted in the NFL's modern era when the Seattle Seahawks chose him in the fifth round in 2018. It reunited him with his twin brother, Shaquill, then the Seahawks' starting left cornerback.
