One month into his first NFL season, Shaquem Griffin is still getting hazed as almost all rookies do. Or, as much as the veterans think they should.
“Bobby Wagner,” Griffin said under his breath on Thursday.
Griffin, the linebacker and fifth-round draft choice this spring, was describing to the British and European media how even though he started Seattle’s opening game at weakside linebacker last month he remains a rookie in every way.
Especially offf the field.
Shaquem and his twin brother Shaquill, Seattle’s starting cornerback, got on the Seahawks’ chartered jumbo jet Wednesday night for the nine-hour flight to London and Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders at Wembley Stadium.
