The Seahawks chose Griffin in the fifth round (141st overall), making him the first one-handed player ever selected in National Football League entry draft. Getting picked was a dream come true for Griffin as he joins his twin brother, Shaquill Griffin, who was drafted by Seattle in the third round last year. “That was the phone call I was waiting for my entire life,” Shaquem Griffin said regarding the call from Seattle general manager John Schneider when he was chosen. He is an explosive, talented guy and he backs it up.”Shaquill Griffin, who was born one minute before his twin, was also overjoyed. “I don’t want to be a guy who’s just a feel-good story,” Griffin told the US media at the draft.
