The Seahawks selected Griffin in the fifth round of the NFL draft Saturday with the 141st overall pick. He told ESPN that he was speechless when he was called by the Seahawks.
"I couldn't breathe," Griffin said. "I didn't know what to say. I was trying to get the words out, but I couldn't talk. All of my hard work has finally paid off and I finally accomplished my life long dream of playing with my brother on the sports highest level. I've been dreaming of this moment every single day since I was a little kid."
