Ex-NFL player appears to pass out when cop grabs throat during arrest

Who cares. Now THIS IS NEWS and he is Canadian.

The Seattle Seahawks have selected Central Florida linebacker Shaquem Griffin in the fifth round of the NFL draft on Saturday.
Griffin lost his left hand to amputation when he was four years old, and became the feel-good story of the NFL draft.

A groundswell of support got him an invite to the scouting combine in Indianapolis, where he stunned onlookers by bench-pressing 225 pounds a staggering 20 times with a prosthetic left hand and then covered the 40-yard dash in 4.38 seconds.
