Kema-Kaleiwahea aces 2nd pro day

Former Warrior Makani Kema-Kaleiwahea proved worthy of a second chance.

Kema-Kaleiwahea rebounded from Monday’s UH pro day to post improved results at Arizona’s pro day yesterday. Kema-Kaleiwahea, a Kamehameha Schools graduate, played at Arizona for two seasons before transferring to UH, along with his wife, to raise their two adopted sons. Last week, Arizona extended the pro-day invitation to Kema-Kaleiwahea.

Event — UH pro day >> Arizona pro day
> 10-yard dash: 1.65 seconds >> 1.60 seconds
> 40-yard dash: 4.75 seconds >> 4.67 seconds
> 20-yard shuttle: 4.43 seconds >> 4.23 seconds
> L-drill: 7.51 seconds >> 7.33 seconds
> Vertical jump: 31 1/2 inches >> 32 inches
> Broad jump: 9 feet, 5 inches >> 9 feet, 7 inches
> 225-bench press: 22 reps, but 5 deducted for not locking arms >> 23 reps (no deductions)


At Arizona pro day, 32 NFL scouts watched Kema-Kaleiwahea work out on defensive line drills. Several teams had him go through linebacker drills. After the workouts, he met with several teams, including the Arizona Cardinals, New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns.

    jm, I think it was mentioned during the ending of the vb game last night that there were some good samaritans who were taking the free tacos to share with the homeless. Of course, we know who she/they are!

    Blessings on those who lift others up…

    #7 I’m sure those good “samaritans” have their heart in the right place and meant well but I’m not sure I would be giving those homeless people tacos. First of all, tacos are not exactly healthy food. Yeah..those homeless people need to eat but feeding them taco is not making it better IMHO. If you want to really help them, go Subway and buy them a sandwich or go Safeway and buy them a fruit bowl or something.

    Those homeless people are not exacting in great health to begin with so eating those horrible tasting taco would not make it better.

    BTW…its one thing to give away free stuff….its another to use your hard earned money and give from the kindness of one’s heart.

    Here is one thing to think about before giving the homeless those free tacos.

    DON’T DO IT……

    coach rolo,is under armour going to send us some neon green unis next year or are we going use last years unis again?

    How low has the blog stooped when we have people who post NOT to feed the homeless?

    Golleee!!!

    But, to the homeless, food is food. I think that is the bottom line.

    I don’t think a homeless person would say, “no thank you on the tacos. I’ll just wait for the next free nutritious meal. Thanks anyway.”

    When I chance upon one in front of a convenience store I share a manapua with him/her. More filling.
