Another former Chippewa will get a crack with the New Orleans Saints of the NFL.
Nathan Rickets, a linebacker, has accepted an invitation to the New Orleans Saints rookie minicamp, where he will join former CMU teammate Austin Stewart. Stewart, a wide receiver who lettered in both basketball and football at CMU, accepted an invitation to the team’s minicamp earlier this week.
Rickets is a 6-foot-3, 235-pound native of Holland. He was a starter during his final two seasons at CMU. Last fall, he led the Chippewas with 60 solo tackles and ranked second on the team with 83 total tackles.
