Griffin and his brother, cornerback Shaquill Griffin, just wrapped up their first season in the pros as teammates. The linebacker’s remarkable story has been nominated for the MTRWestern Sports Story of the Year.

“Fifth-round draft choices rarely get much attention, but Shaquem Griffin was a rare exception,” reads the bio on Griffin’s ballot for the award. “He was a star linebacker in college despite having just one hand. When the Seahawks picked him, it was the feelgood story of the NFL draft, uniting him with his twin Shaquill and inspiring amputees everywhere.”
