    Two players from Hawaii's football team recently signed with NFL teams after going undrafted. Offensive lineman Ilm Manning signed with the San Francisco 49ers, where he will likely play guard due to his size being considered too small for tackle. Wide receiver Zion Bowens signed with the Washington Commanders, where he will have the opportunity to learn from their veteran receivers after a productive college career where he caught 59 passes for 896 yards and 7 touchdowns in 2022. While Hawaii football has struggled recently and hasn't produced many NFL draft picks, these two signings provide hope that the program can once again have players succeed at the professional level.

    Hawaii Football: Two Players Sign with

    NFL Teams
    By Jorden Hampton May 4, 2023

    Hawaii football experienced a disappointing 2022 campaign, finishing 3-10. However, two

    Hawaii football players recently signed with NFL teams according to KHON2 Digital Reporter

    Christian Shimabuku.

    Offensive Lineman Ilm Manning and Wide Receiver Zion Bowens went undrafted this spring.

    Manning signed with the San Francisco 49ers. Manning's draft stock fell because of his size.

    Manning is listed at 6'4 and is considered too small to play tackle. Manning will most likely play

    guard with the 49ers.

    Manning played over 60 games for the Rainbow Warriors. Manning recorded 119 knockdowns

    in 2022.

    Bowens signed with the Washington Commanders. Bowens caught 59 passes, amassed 896

    receiving yards and scored seven touchdowns in college. Bowens had a career-high 494

    receiving yards in 2022.

    Bowens has a chance to make the Commander's team. Bowens can learn from Terry McLaurin,

    Curtis Samuel and Jahan Dotson.

    The Significance?
    Hawaii has produced NFL players in the past, but hasn't had the same luck recently. Quarterback

    Cole McDonald was the last player from Hawaii who was drafted. McDonald was drafted in the

    seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft. McDonald was selected by the Tennessee Titans.

    The NFL is littered with undrafted players. Manning and Bowens must work hard and prove they

    belong in the NFL.
