Shaquem Griffin, an inspirational NFL story, might be on the bubble to make the 2019 Seahawks roster

It was one of the feel-good stories of the sports world in 2018 when the Seahawks drafted Shaquem Griffin in the fifth round out of Central Florida.

It satisfied on multiple levels, reuniting Shaquem with his soul mate twin brother, Shaquill, while giving a deserved NFL opportunity to a player who had excelled in college without his left hand.

It had inspiration and pathos. It had enough heartwarming elements to make the younger Shaquem (younger by less than two minutes, technically) the sentimental favorite of fans of all stripes, and the role model for those trying to overcome their own adversity.
