Shaquem Griffin Racks Up Endorsement Deals

Few fifth-round picks rack up endorsement deals. Few fifth-round picks are like Seahawks linebacker Shaquem Griffin.

Griffin, one of the newest Seahawks, has landed a smattering of endorsements. Via Yahoo Sports, Griffin’s corporate sponsors include Nike, Bose, and JC Penny. According to ESPN.com, Griffin also has a deal with Eleven James, among others.

The interest in Griffin isn’t surprising. As a one-handed football player, Griffin will inspire football fans everywhere for his ability to overcome extreme adversity and make it to the NFL.

His jersey undoubtedly will become a top seller, and his situation will attract plenty of casual fans who typically only watch the Super Bowl to plenty of other games.

It may not be the type of hype I like, but it is a great story, and may just win a lot more fans than just our newest Dolphin.

Maybe we can get less DPI this season...I mean if a lot of people are watching, they wont call as many im hoping!

So happy for him. Get your money, Shaquem!

What is not to like if you are looking for a player to endorse? Great story and great kid. AND, he can truly play.
