Vontaze Burfict went undrafted.

When the story broke, I felt sure that Kekua was a creation of Teo (and likely his dad/family). Now, I have to admit, I do think it's at least possible someone would pull such a hoax. Create a fake person, reach out to a famous but perhaps known-to-be-naive mark, then end it grotesquely. A really mean joke to start, then a cruel-but-possibly-clean exit to the ruse.

Then, just maybe: If there was sexting, wouldn't that be blackmail material against a future millionaire, and reason to get in contact with Teo in December? Swarbrick said the woman whose voice Teo knew as Kekua called him in December, but Swarbrick didn't elaborate on what was said in that conversation.
