Why Shaquem Griffin will make Seattle roster and where he could play
RENTON, Wash. -- During the span of a few practices early in Seattle Seahawks training camp, rookie linebacker Shaquem Griffin picked off Russell Wilson, forced a fumble and found himself running with the starters while K.J. Wright nursed an injury.
Griffin's nice start doesn't have him thinking he's arrived, though. He shot down that idea faster than his 4.38 40-yard dash at February's NFL scouting combine.
"Definitely not," he said. "Definitely not. I got a lot to prove."
But Griffin, the first player with one hand to be drafted during the NFL's modern era, is proving he belongs. That was apparent even before he led all players with nine tackles in his first preseason game.
