From the Niners flying under the radar, to the expanding visibility of the Polynesian cultures in the live action Moana movie, to Puka Nacua’s potentially big season, revered Samoan and 49ers legend Jesse Sapolu shines a light on a lot.

[Steve Wyche @wyche89]

Texans LB Henry To’o To’o and his wife Cheyenne are about that football life and are showcasing their appreciation and investment in some special ways.

[Mack Brown @CoachMackBrown]

And just when you thought a record 16% of NFL first-round draft picks being POLYNESIAN was impressive… it gets even bigger.

With De’zhaun Stribling going as the FIRST pick of the 2nd round, that makes 18.2% of the first 33 picks.

Absolutely incredible representation with less than one-half of 1% of the U.S. population. The talent pipeline is undeniable. 🌺🏈 #NFLDraft #PolynesianPride
