Former Seahawks linebacker Shaquem Griffin has announced his retirement from the NFL. Griffin broke the news himself in a column for the Player’s Tribune this morning. Griffin was picked by Seattle in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL draft, joining his brother Shaquill – a third-round selection from the previous year.
Griffin went on to play 46 games for the Seahawks before getting cut prior to the 2020 season. He worked his way back onto the practice squad but only appeared in one game that year. Last season, Griffin worked out for several teams around the league but in the end only wanted to play with his brother on the Jaguars.
