University of Central Florida linebacker Shaquem Griffin, who was born with a birth defect that required his left hand to be removed when he was 4, put up 20 reps on the 225 lbs bench press at the NFL Combine.
An impressive number for just about anyone who does the bench press. This kind of effort will definitely get Griffin noticed by more scouts.
