Saints rookie outside linebacker Hau'oli Kikaha has stood out for his unusual name and long, flowing locks. But now he's beginning to stand out for his exceptional play on the field, which he exhibited Sunday against Tampa Bay,

Kikaha recorded seven tackles (four solo), forced a fumble, and had a sack in the loss to the Buccaneers. He's been all over the field in the first two weeks. For the straight game, he caused a fumble and his sack of Jameis Winston was the first of his young career.

His performance is particularly impressive given that he was not even on the field for 14 of 66 snaps, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Considered somewhat of a project coming out of college, most expected some growing pains from Kikaha, but he has been a revelation as a starter. He's worthy of consideration in most IDP leagues.
