Kai had a great offseason, and I think this fall is when he will begin to show why he’s one of the best interior defensive linemen in the Charlotte Metro Area. Kai has worked hard in the weight room, and his explosive first step off the ball will be something that causes a lot of offensive linemen to have some long Friday nights this season.
