Many fans of the Seattle Seahawks were ecstatic when the team selected Shaquem Griffin out of the University of Central Florida with pick 141 in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Griffin’s twin brother, Shaquill Griffin, had played well for the Seahawks as a rookie in 2017, and Shaquem brought youth and speed to the team’s aging linebacker group. The hope was that not only could Shaquem develop into a replacement at one of the linebacker positions, but that he could also develop into an edge rusher after having recorded 18.
