Former Saints OL Nate Wozniak signs with Vikings

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.
