15 Former NFL Players In Vince McMahon's XFL

15. Hau'oli Kikaha

Representing the Dallas Renegades in the upcoming XFL season will be linebacker Hau'oli Kikaha. At just 27 years old, the former NFL player's career struggled to take off thanks to two ACL tears during his college days, and another causing him to miss the entire 2016 NFL season.

The New Orleans Saints obviously saw something in Kikaha, taking him in the second round of the 2015 draft, but their faith was not rewarded. Taken either side of their pick in the draft were Benardrick McKinney and Eric Kendricks, two fellow linebackers who went on to Pro Bowl appearances in 2018 and 2019 respectively.

After just three seasons, one of which he completely sat out, the Saints waived the linebacker, ending his time in the NFL. Taken with the eighth pick in the third phase of the XFL draft, the Renegades will be relying on Kikaha to anchor their offensive line when they host the St. Louis BattleHawks in week one.
