Episode Details

The Mauigoa brothers, Kiko and Francis, from American Samoa, are making waves in the NFL. Kiko, a linebacker for the New York Jets, and Francis, a top draft prospect, left their island home early to pursue their dreams. They switched schools, with Kiko transitioning from quarterback to linebacker, and Francis, a massive offensive tackle, allowing just two sacks in over a thousand pass-blocking snaps. Their family, who never imagined NFL glory, instilled village values and hard work, turning them into elite athletes. The brothers, who grew up chopping taro and sharing helmets, now battle fiercely in practice, trash-talking to sharpen each other, and bond off the field. Francis, with a potential day-one starting role and top-five status, is set to spotlight the power of brotherly grit in NFL success.
