Shaqueem Griffith retired from football today. He gave inspiration to so many and I'm posting here because of it and his lasting words. "Football was always plan B. College was plan A."

Great advice from his father.

Super kid and great football player.

Madden legend, one of first LBs with 90+ speed.

Played football with him and his brother growing up. They were complete dogs and anyone from St Pete would have told you that they would be in the NFL from a very early age. I vividly remember a play when Quem literally ran over 3 guys back to back in the same play and then went on to run 80 yards. They’ve always had the size, legit speed and DISCIPLINE. Truly a legend from 727!

One of the best stories in CFB history. He was a huge part of that undefeated season UCF had. He's an inspiration to many, including me. I hope he gets into motivational speaking in the future.

****, that’s a feel good story if I ever heard one. I have a brother and we grew up playing sports together all of our lives, so I can definitely relate. Just goes to show how important family is!

He’s should make a killing in speaking and deservedly so. One of the greatest stories of triumphing over adversity

Came here to say the same thing. He'll make far more ($) on the speaking circuit than he ever did playing football. Has a long career of traveling to university athletic departments, and corporate events ahead of him.

This kid really deserves all the opportunities to impact others' lives through motivation, etc. And, not because he played in the NFL without a hand. Because the dude consistently states "I don't play that pity ****." Just outright says he doesn't accept it or do it. Imagine a whole generation of players and people with that mindset. Hope he gets every opportunity in the world.
