David Veikune invited to the Senior Bowl!

About accepting the invitation to the Senior Bowl, Veikune said:
"I'm very excited about the opportunity." (HA)

About how he was about to leave for his flight to the East-West Shrine Game, Veikune said:
"I didn't find out until about 5:45 this morning. I was about a minute away from getting into a cab when my agent called and told me to unpack my bags. It's going to be an honor to play in the Senior Bowl." (HSB)

HA Note: "Veikune and former UH cornerback Ryan Mouton are training in Carson, Calif. Veikune, Mouton and long-snapper Jake Ingram have been invited to the NFL combine in Indianapolis."

About how he's on a diet that requires him to eat 4,800 calories a day, with his pre-made meals coming from Sunfare, Veikune said:
"You get to choose what you like and what you don't like. It helps. You don't have to think about cooking." (HA)

HA Note: "Veikune, who is 6 feet 3, wishes to weigh "in the 260 range" when he reports for the Senior Bowl workouts."

About the visibility that Veikune will get in the Senior Bowl, his agent Kenny Zuckerman said:
"When you play for Hawaii and in the WAC, a lot of people in the Midwest and East Coast don't really get an opportunity to see you. It's a great opportunity for him to showcase himself." (HSB)
