BIOGRAPHY

Ka’imi Fairbairn was born January 29, 1994, in Kailua, Hawaii. He is a kicker in the NFL. Fairbairn won the kicking job at UCLA as a true freshman in 2012, and he became the first Bruin to score at least 100 points in each of his four seasons. After not being selected in the 2016 NFL Draft, Fairbairn signed with the Houston Texans. However, he spent all of 2016 on injured reserve with an injured quadriceps. In 2017, he was named the Texans' starting kicker over Nick Novak. Fairbairn had attempted all of the team's field goals during the preseason, and he had a stronger leg and deeper kickoffs than the incumbent. In Week 4, against the Tennessee Titans, he converted six-of-seven extra points and all three field-goal attempts. As a rookie, he converted 32 of 35 extra-point attempts and 20 of 25 field-goal attempts.
