Shaquem Griffin was relegated into a special teams role in his initial season with the Seattle Seahawks. Coach Pete Carroll want to change which in 2019.

Throughout offseason workouts, Carroll has proceeded Griffin around, putting him at weakside linebacker in nickel packages and strongside in foundation sets, where he could rush the passer.
