Kikaha was already a fringe NFL athlete coming in.

The fact that he doesn't rely solely on his athleticism isn't a negative here

He first 2 were basically the same injury, and his recovery for this one has supposedly gone extremely well in the repair and recovery. We'll see if we need to bring a vet in pretty early since he's already ready to role in some fashion in OTAs.

I mean I still think TM7 will be a great player with his 2 torn ones in different legs.

Re: Kikaha anything we get from his is lagniappe but as a GM of coach you cannot lean on him for the future. You have to plan like he isn't there

I agree with that going into the draft and now. We've added 2 players there, making his possible contribution a plus if it happens. I don't think you can evaluate at the present

I see 3 new guys this season outside of Kikaha. 2 will definitely make the team, and the 6th rounder has the talent.

The latest one was a minor tear and has long sinced healed. He's ready to go.

And fringe athlete? Okay. It'll play out on the field. I'll make the crow pie for one of us.
