Central Florida linebacker/safety Shaquem Griffin became this year’s most inspiring NFL draft story at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis.
Griffin was born with amniotic band syndrome, a congenital condition that caused him to lose his left hand at age 4. He played football his entire life despite the disability, ultimately helping lead the Knights to an undefeated 2017 season and earning Defensive Player of the Year honors for the American Athletic Conference. Griffin was also a second-team All-American.
His disability also didn’t stop him from becoming a national name at the combine this year.
And the Carolina Panthers should be on notice.
