INDIANAPOLIS -- Central Florida linebacker Shaquem Griffin vowed before the NFL scouting combine opened that "something special's coming soon." On Saturday, he began fulfilling that promise.
Griffin, who according to the NFL is attempting to become the first player with one hand to be drafted into the league in the modern era, got a roar from the fans in the bleachers when he put up 20 repetitions of 225 pounds in the bench press. The reaction was, by far, the loudest any player has received to this point in the open-to-the-public portion of the testing.
