RENTON — Shaquem Griffin is one of the most life-affirming examples ever offered up by professional sports of the human capacity for overcoming obstacles to reach one’s goals.
So maybe his approach to what seems like something of a challenge in his new role with the Seahawks — trying to rush the passer off the edge at a listed 227 pounds — shouldn’t be surprising.
Griffin hints that he may actually be a little less than the 227 at which he is listed, saying “that’s the weight I came in at’’ when asked if it’s accurate, and that he spent this offseason trying to lose weight.
