Former BYU safety Kai Nacua leads list of NFL locals released by teams on Friday

One night after recording a pick-six, former BYU safety Kai Nacua was one of several NFL players with local ties who were waived Friday, according to reports or team announcements.

Nacua started at strong safety for the Baltimore Ravens in a 30-20 win over the Washington Redskins on Thursday and had six tackles, including four solo tackles, in the win to go with a pass deflection.

In the third quarter, Nacua wrestled away a Kevin Hogan pass from the receiver and returned the pick 23 yards for a touchdown.

Nacua wasn’t the only other BYU product released by the Ravens on Friday, as they also waived defensive back Robertson Daniel, who also had an interception against the Redskins.
