Dallas sent their DL coach to the San Jose State pro day to watch and workout DL Fehoko, who is a little bit of a pet cat of mine because he plays with an absolute relentless nature. The guy is always going at about 100 MPH. I will always be a big fan of that kind of effort.
He is the second cousin to Vita Vea and has a rugby background as well as his college football experience.
His pro day results:
Size: 6-4 282lbs.
40 time: 4.72
Arms: 33”
Fehoko can be viewed as somewhat of a tweener at 6-4 282 lbs., much like Tuli Tuipulotu was at USC. Also like Tuli, Fehoko could be used some on the edge on run downs, but his pass rush would likely be utilized inside at 3-Tech DT on passing downs.
Here is the PFN write-up from his pro day:
More than 40 scouts were on hand for SJSU’s Pro Day, quite likely a record for the Mountain West program. And most were on hand to see defensive lineman Viliami Fehoko, who did not disappoint. Fehoko tipped the scales at 282 pounds, six more than his weight at the Combine.
He ran in the low 4.7s (4.72 seconds on many watches) and looked outstanding in position drills. He was relentless during defensive line drills, which were run by the Philadelphia Eagles. The Cowboys and Atlanta Falcons had DL coaches on-site as well.
Fehoko measures a shade under 6’4″ and comes with arms that are 33″. He’s one of the most intense defenders you’ll find in this year’s draft class and offers the versatility to be used at a number of spots up front. He projects as a middle-round pick, and Fehoko could sneak into the third round.
Anyway, I just wanted to post something about one of the mid-round guys that I like. He is versatile and plays the game like it means something to him. I’ve been hoping to maybe get him in the 4th round, but it sounds like his stock is rising, so I don’t know any more. I’m just glad that Dallas had the DL coach there to work him out. At least I know that one of my mid-round pet cats is on the team’s radar.

Here is a part of his write up from The Draft Network:
Fehoko plays with a hot motor—he does not stop attacking offensive linemen. Whether versus the run or pass, he plays with a relentless mindset. His hands are and remain active during reps with multiple punches thrown. I appreciate the play strength and physicality he plays with at the point of attack in the run game. He has the physical strength to anchor, stack, and shed blocks on the edges. Fehoko has an understanding of the different run-blocking concepts and how to win against them. He does a good job with his hands defeating zone blocks to remain clean and upright as he flows with the football.
As a pass rusher, his productivity has increased over the last three seasons. Fehoko has multiple hand counters and moves to win. He has an understanding of not overrunning the play and getting out of the quarterback’s reach on outside rushers. Instead, he retraces his steps or spins back inside to catch the quarterback as he attempts to step up in the pocket. There are flashes of a two/double-handed swipe to reduce the hitting surface for the offensive lineman and knock their hands down altogether.
