Former Saints pass rusher Hau'oli Kikaha tries out at XFL Summer Showcase

Former New Orleans Saints pass rusher Hau’oli Kikaha, a second-round draft pick whose career was derailed by injuries, is still fighting for another shot at playing professionally. Kikaha was one of a list of players who tried out at the XFL Summer Showcase, auditioning for their unnamed Seattle franchise.

Kikaha looked like an immediate hit when he joined the Saints back in 2015, racking up four sacks, five other quarterback hits, and four forced fumbles after a decorated college career. His records still stand for the Washington Huskies. Unfortunately, a third ACL tear and an untimely high-ankle sprain ended his time in New Orleans.
