BYU linebacker Sione Takitaki eager to continue his ‘remarkable’ turnaround story as NFL draft approaches

Provo • It cracks up former BYU linebacker Sione Takitaki when people ask him which team he would most like to play for in the NFL as the draft approaches this week in Nashville, Tenn.

That’s because when you have been on the “remarkable journey” that Takitaki says he has been on, you can’t afford to be picky.

Takitaki’s troubles at BYU and subsequent turnaround, with the help of his wife Alyssa, have been well-documented. He doesn’t shy away from talking about “that part of my story,” but is also eager to add more chapters, including the realization of a boyhood dream to play in the NFL.
