khesanh Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Too bad because I REALLY Like this kid...I would still spend the pick on him Player Page Close | Full Depth Charts Hau'oli Kikaha | Defensive End Team: Washington Huskies Ht / Wt: 6'3' / 250 Latest News Recent News NFL Media believes Washington edge rusher Hau'oli Kikaha must show improved athleticism at his pro day workout. Kikaha (6-foot-2 3/8, 253 pounds) led the nation with 19 sacks last season and had 36 sacks and 51.5 tackles for loss across his career. Despite that mind-numbing productivity, many evaluators are stuck by the lack of athleticism they see on game film. "Instead, analysts laud his grit, determination and high-revving motor," wrote College Football 24/7 writer Mike Huguenin. "While he does have a proven ability to get to the quarterback, teams are leery of his perceived lack of athleticism and that he has had two ACL surgeries. He doesn't have to run as fast as Vic Beasley or Dante Fowler Jr. But his stock will take a hit if he puts up mediocre numbers." Washington's pro day is on April 2. Mar 1 - 6:45 PM Source: NFL.com TFY Draft Insider Tony Pauline notes that Washington edge rusher Hau'oli Kikaha is off a number of teams boards "because of medical red flags and the lack of next level athleticism." "I took a lot of heat after listing Hau’Oli Kikaha as a free agent and falling out of the draft’s seven rounds a few weeks ago. At the combine I learned a number of teams have taken Kikaha off their board because of medical red flags and the lack of next level athleticism," Pauline wrote. NFL personnel have had questions about Hau’oli Kikaha‘s injury history, as Kikaha's left knee has required two ACL reconstructions. Despite his past injuries, the Huskies' prospect was quite productive in 2014, recording 19 sacks, 73 tackles and two forced fumbles. Our own Josh Norris ranks the edge rusher as the No. 28 overall prospect in the class.

Kikaha performed all of the drills and will run at the Huskies' pro day in March. Analysts continue to fall all over the place on Kikaha's value. TFY Draft Insider's Tony Pauline grades him as an undrafted free agent, believing Danny Shelton freed Kikaha up to accrue stats, while Rotoworld's Josh Norris ranks the edge rusher as the No. 28 overall prospect in the class.

"He's the most accomplished pure pass rusher in the 2015 draft, but there are some questions about his athletic ability," Zierlein wrote. "Is his outstanding production a result of effort or does he have the athleticism to do it at the next level?"
