| NFL Scouting takes 'Virtue Signalling' into the End Zone with One Handed Tight End |
| 2018-03-05 |
| [NYP] Shaquem Griffin wants to make history. His performance at the NFL Scouting Combine on Saturday was just a taste. The Central Florida linebacker is looking to become the first one-handed player to be drafted into the league in the modern era. He won’t know for almost two months whether he will accomplish that goal, but he definitely made teams sit up and take notice with his combine performance. Wearing a prosthetic attached to his left arm, Griffin did 20 reps on the bench press at 225 pounds, all to the loudest cheers of the day from a raucous crowd excited to witness the feat. |

| #2 ...Well...if the guy can do it, let him try. IIRC there was a field goal kicker years ago who had half a right foot, and he did quite well. If the guy works out, great - he's an example. If he doesn't, I hope the Usual Suspects(TM) won't come to the conclusion that he's being 'held back' simply because he has one hand. Mike |
