Uona Kaveinga
Denver Broncos | Linebacker
Years at BYU: 2011-2012
Like Fuga, Kaveinga signed an UDFA deal with the Broncos. Kaveinga has to adjust to being a Sam Linebacker in the Broncos 4-3 defense. The man in front of Kaveinga at the starting SAM Linebacker spot is none other than, Pro Bowl and All-NFL star, Von Miller. Barring an appeal in the coming days, Miller will be suspended for the first four games of the 2013 season for violating a league policy. This leaves an opening for a player like Kaveinga to shine during training camp.
Kaveinga is a solid linebacker, who in his two years at BYU was forgotten at times due to all the talent BYU had at the LB position. Kaveinga will make the Broncos final 53-man roster.
2013 Outlook: Makes final 53-man roster
