Would you draft Shaquem Griffin?

[Rags]

I haven't watched much of this guy, how is he in coverage? 

[Yaboychris28]

He’s single handedly killing the combine, what an amazing athlete.

For those who missed that UFC/Auburn bowl game interested in watching this kid play against top college competition, spend 10 minutes and watch this:

Absolutely love what @Shaquemgriffin has been doing to prove everyone who’s ever doubted him… https://t.co/kfp4KvbRme

What he's overcome to play at the college level is inspiring, but the challenges and the stakes are infinitely higher at the pro level.

Linebacker isn't necessarily an immediate need for us, but with Thomas Davis set to retire and Shaq Thompson a free agent after this year unless the fifth year option is invoked, it might be worth looking at. Even if Thompson's fifth yer is activated, you still need more linebackers than just Luke and Shaq.

Would you take him or not? Why or why not?

And point blank, does the hand thing make a difference?

He is a winner in life 

talk about ‘keep pounding ‘ he is it

I just dont know how you will play in the NFL with one hand. 

 

Pass

The same way players play with a club cast or simple casts. INTs have been made with them. I'm sure it'd be about the same. 

[XOBlackxJokerOX]

In the highlights I've seen of his tackling, he tends to perform "form" tackles. So the arm tackling worry should be put to bed. He played and had success at high level talent in college ball. I wouldn't mind giving him a shot in the later rounds, if he falls that far. We do have more pressing needs than LB at the moment though. So if the opportunity is there, cool but if a better player in a position of need is there, we can't overlook them.

I would draft him in the later rounds. He is a fighter. I respect his determination. Sometimes that translates to the field.

I will be rooting for this guy whatever team he ends up on 

I'd absolutely root for the guy.

That said, whether or not he can succeed in the NFL, where plenty of guys who have both hands fail, is another story.

My opinion?  Honestly don't know.

Our 4th round pick is punting in Arizona.

oh yeah, fug i totally forgot about that trade. Still no idea why we would trade a 4th for a punter. Could've just acquired robert quinn for that

Absolutely hated the trade at the time. A 4th round pick for a 33 year old punter just didn't make any sense at all.

Duped by the browns.  That's pretty bad.  I liked getts but he definitely tended to make rash panic moves
