Kailee Wong: Football Linebacker
Kailee Wong (born May 23, 1976) is a former linebacker in the National Football League. He currently is the owner of The Athletic Room in Houston, Texas. Wong was recruited by Bill Walsh, and subsequently played collegiately as an All-American at Stanford University. He attended North Eugene High School. Walsh recruited Wong with the stipulation that he would not have to play offense, despite being a record-setting fullback at the high school level.
Wong was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the second round (51st overall) in the 1998 NFL Draft. He had a career-high 134 tackles in 2000, and returned a Brett Favre interception for a touchdown in 2001. Wong was signed as a free agent by the Houston Texans in 2002 and played until his retirement after the 2006 season.
His ethnic background is native Chinese on his father's side and Hawaiian and European on his mother's side.
