The pick was made extra special by the fact that the Griffins will be reunited in Seattle since Shaquill is a cornerback for the Seahawks.
Shaquem provided the draft with one of its biggest storylines. Observers were interested to see where he would land after a productive college career at UCF and an explosive performance at the NFL Scouting Combine.
All of his accomplishments in football have come after his left hand was amputated when he was four years old.
The Griffin brothers played four seasons together at UCF, and they will have a chance to combine their talents once again at the NFL level in Seattle.
