Sione Takitaki – Noteworthy
Previewing the 2019 NFL Combine: Third Day Sleeper: Sione Takitaki, BYU,…Teams looking for a diamond in the rough will want to do their due diligence on Takitaki, a reformed “knucklehead” kicked off the team at BYU early in his career who matured into a team captain and all-star game standout as a senior. The 6-2, 230 pound Takitaki is a flashy athlete who earned rave reviews from scouts I spoke to at the East-West Shrine Game and a late call-up to the Senior Bowl, as a result. If teams are convinced that his immaturity is behind him, Takitaki is likely to earn a middle round selection, projecting as an immediate special teamer with the potential to ultimately compete for a starting role, most likely outside in a traditional 4-3 alignment. – Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
