Austrian Bernhard Seikovits gets second shot at NFL with Arizona Cardinals

TEMPE, Ariz. -- When Arizona Cardinals tight end Bernhard Seikovits looks back at his path to the NFL, he thinks he should've been a little more patient, maybe even a little more objective.

Thanks hindsight.

The NFL wasn't on Seikovits' radar as he grew up playing for the Vienna Vikings of the Austrian Football League in his home country. Then the NFL invited him to its International Combine in Germany in the Fall of 2019. From there, he was invited to the NFL's International Player Pathway Program (IPPP) and started training at IMG Academy in Florida.
