Did he get any playing time in the XFL?

Gosh I was a fan of him when he was here. Injuries just messed up his career.

 

[Mississippi Saints Fan]

I liked him, too, but it's tough to bounce back from 3 ACL injuries. He could have been a great player if not for injuries. Wish him the best.

The little bit of XFL I saw, Kikaha played. It was nice to here his name, again.

I watched the first renegades game and he looked super slow. Shame . Loved him him when he was here. Still have my 44 salute to service jersey.

I always wished that I had heard Buddy D say his name.

Dude was an impact player. One of my favorites.

He got a sack just this week. Seems like an odd time to retire.

I'm afraid Anzalone is headed down the same path as Kikaha due to injuries. I hope I'm wrong on that sixth sense, though!

I loved Kikaha while he was here and kept rooting for him to overcome his injuries. But I guess there was just too many to completely bounce back from. It makes me sad. I sure wish him well in whatever he has planned for his next adventure in life!

 

[gregh]

did he tear up the knee again??

Terrible pick by Saints based on his collegiate injury history. Back then Saints seemed to take a lot of chances on injury riddled draft prospects. Thank God Ireland stopped that.

So much potential

I remember his rookie year. He was a FF machine, and showed a lot of promise rushing the passer.

But...

4 knee surgeries would mess anyone up

Best wishes for whatever his future holds.

I do remember reading when he was drafted that he was into fighting and using Mixed Martial Arts.

Maybe he can become a coach/trainer and make a career out of it or something.

Best of luck to him, he will always be loved here on Saints Forum

Yeah, I’m glad that Ireland put a stop to that nonsense. It fits Payton’s personality as in those type of players are high risk high reward. I think hitting on Brees with his shoulder injury made the organization trend in that direction of taking those risks.
