BYU football: Former Cougar Vai Sikahema to join Polynesian Football Hall of Fame

Before he became a well-known television sports and news anchor for an NBC-TV affiliate in Philadelphia, Vai Sikahema was an outstanding running back and kick returner at BYU and a two-time Pro Bowl selection in the NFL with the St. Louis Cardinals, Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles.

On Wednesday, the Polynesian Football Hall of Fame announced that Sikahema will be a member of the hall's 2016 class, along with fellow players Charlie Ane Jr., Rockne Freitas and Troy Polamalu and contributor Albert "Al" Lolotai, who played for Weber Junior College in Ogden before it became Weber State University.
