Shaquem Alphonso Griffin/ʃəˈkiːm/ (born July 20, 1995) is a former American football linebacker who played in the National Football League (NFL) for four seasons.
He is the twin brother of Minnesota Vikings cornerback Shaquill Griffin, and both brothers played college football at UCF. When Griffin was 4 years old, he had his left hand amputated; Griffin later received extensive media coverage as a prospective 2018 NFL Draft pick.[2][3][4] He was selected as a fifth-round pick (141st overall) by the Seahawks on April 28, 2018, reuniting him with Shaquill.[5]
Griffin played with the Seahawks for three seasons before spending part of the 2021 season with the Miami Dolphins' practice squad. He retired during the 2022 offseason.
