Shaquem Griffin, NFL Draft Prospect with 1 Hand, Going to 2018 Scouting Combine

UCF linebacker Shaquem Griffin has received an invite to the NFL Scouting Combine, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN.

The one-handed linebacker discussed the invitation on his Twitter account:

Griffin was left off the initial combine list but earned a spot in Indianapolis after a standout showing at the Senior Bowl.

"No one could match his intensity and determination as he ran down quarterbacks and running backs," Bleacher Report's Matt Miller said about the linebacker. He projects the player will be selected on Day 3 of the draft.

Griffin's left hand was amputated at 4 years old after suffering from amniotic band syndrome, but that didn't stop him from being a first-team all-conference performer in each of the last two seasons.
