Linebacker Shaquem Griffin, who made history as the first one-handed NFL player, announced his retirement Wednesday. His twin brother, Shaquill Griffin, plays for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The 27-year-old explained his decision to leave pro football in a piece in the Players Tribune, writing that it is "time for me to execute my Plan A."
For Griffin, that plan includes "doing something" that would "make a positive impact in the world."
