Report: Seahawks cut Shaquem Griffin after 2 seasons

Shaquem Griffin, the one-handed linebacker who made the Seattle Seahawks for two straight seasons, was cut Saturday as teams trimmed their rosters to 53 players, reports The Athletic's Michael-Shawn Dugar.

Griffin was a fifth-round pick of Seattle in 2018 and went on to appear in 32 games, making one start. He posted 16 tackles and three quarterback hits, with most of his contributions coming on special teams.

An amputee since the age of four, Griffin's quest to make the NFL became an inspirational story nationwide ahead of the 2018 draft. The 25-year-old was an All-American defender at UCF.

Griffin's twin brother, Shaquill, plays cornerback for the Seahawks and is entering his fourth season.
