UCF linebacker Shaquem Griffin continues to inspire at the NFL Combine. After bench pressing 225 pounds 20 times on Saturday, Griffin tackled the 40-yard dash and finished with an unofficial time of 4.38. NFL's Twitter account pointed out that's the fastest time since 2003 for a linebacker.

Griffin, who had his left hand amputated when he was four because of a birth defect, is clearly using the Combine to prove he's a star, and many have taken notice. Here are some reactions from commentators and NFL stars.
Shaquem Griffin killing it.
Yesterday, I asked Griffin what he was going to run and he replied, “what do you think is fast?” I said, “For a linebacker, 4.60.” He replied, “I didn’t say linebacker, I said what do you think is fast.” Now I know what he meant. 438!!
Shaquem Griffin was flying 😳😳 he 4.38 lol he not messing around!!!
How in the hell did Shaq Griffin not get an invite to the combine originally?
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll dug it, too.
