UCF linebacker Shaquem Griffin received an invite to the NFL Scouting Combine, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com.
Griffin, who has one hand, discussed the invitation on Twitter:
Griffin was left off the initial combine list but earned a spot in Indianapolis after a standout showing at the Senior Bowl.
"No one could match his intensity and determination as he ran down quarterbacks and running backs," Bleacher Report's Matt Miller wrote, projecting Griffin will be selected on Day 3 of the draft.
Griffin's left hand was amputated when he was four years old because he suffered from amniotic band syndrome, but that didn't stop him from becoming a first-team all-conference performer in each of the last two seasons.
He notched 18.5 sacks over the past two years plus 33.5 tackles for loss.
The brother of Seahawks cornerback Shaquill Griffin, Shaquem will have a chance to prove he belongs alongside the top prospects in the draft class.
