Former New Orleans Saints offensive lineman Nate Wozniak signed with the Minnesota Vikings after being released recently, as first reported by Ben Goessling of The Star-Tribune. Wozniak joined the Saints practice squad last year as an undrafted free agent; New Orleans initially tried to convert the 6-foot-9, 260-pound tight end prospect to offensive tackle, seeing potential in his length as a blocker on the perimeter.
However, Wozniak struggled in the transition and didn’t get meaningful practice reps in training camp, spending most of his time on the third-string offense. His release suggested a lack of confidence by the Saints coaching staff that he’d make the move successfully.
