With Shaquill, the Seahawks’ third-round pick, locking down the starting right cornerback job in Seattle, and Shaquem coming off the best and final season of his college career, both Griffin brothers are thriving despite being apart from each other for the first time in their lives.
Most days, Seahawks rookie cornerback Shaquill Griffin sits in his locker before practice at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center with earphones plugged into his ears, staring down at his iPhone screen into a mirror image of his own face.
Occasionally, Griffin laughs heartily at something his identical twin brother, Shaquem Griffin, says via FaceTime from Orlando, Fla.
