PROVO — Sione Takitaki’s invite to the NFL Scouting Combine has come at the end of a long and bumpy road. It’s an achievement lined with faces who believed in him, a cadre of allies who never gave up on the mercurial, complex kid.
The combine runs from Feb. 26 through March 4. The portion that includes linebackers such as Takitaki will be Sunday.
The Takitaki story is one of inspiration. He’s a guy who could have fallen off the rails several times, but ended up earning a tremendous chance to better his résumé this weekend.
