BELLEVUE, Wash. - Shaquem Griffin says he's been an avid video game player since he was a kid, when he and his twin brother Shaquill would compete with the loser owing the winner push-ups.
Not having a left hand made it a challenge to maneuver the controller. That made the Seattle Seahawks rookie linebacker a natural choice to promote Microsoft's new Adaptive Controller, which was designed for gamers like Shaquem who have accessibility needs.
He spent part of his Thursday evening at a Microsoft store in Bellevue playing a game of "Madden" with a young Seahawks fan who also has accessibility needs.
