The feel-good story of the 2018 NFL Draft process received an appropriate ending Saturday.
The Seattle Seahawks selected one-handed linebacker Shaquem Griffin in the fifth round, reuniting him with his brother, cornerback Shaquill Griffin. The two played together at UCF.
While Shaquem waited longer than most expected to hear his name called, it didn't dampen the outpouring of joy from Twitter after the pick was announced.
Wow. Chills. God is so good! Great job @Seahawks

Shaquill (left) and Shaquem Griffin (right) have done everything together. They played high school football together. They went to UCF together. They will now play on the @Seahawks together. pic.twitter.com/gDgWB0grHo

When I say @Shaquemgriffin inspirational qualities should be just as much of an evaluation measurable or metric as anything else, this is what I mean.
The @Seahawks have a new fan here, I’m sure. https://t.co/zquzmXBU6x
Congrats @Shaquemgriffin !! Like I told you this morning, it’s time to keep proving the critics that don’t know anything about heart or why the beacon of light always shines. #NFLDraft https://t.co/zUXiW18DeW

. @ShaquillG says he didn’t even cry on his own draft day a year ago, but today, when brother @Shaquemgriffin was drafted to play with him in Seattle, the tears started flowing. Long live sports! #NFLDraft #GoKnights
