Life happened fast Monday night for linebacker Michael Mauti.
Mauti, whom the New Orleans Saints released in early September, was in Pensacola, Fla., with his wife shopping when his phone rang.
The Saints were on the other end with a request for Mauti to work out and potentially return to the NFL, and he didn't hesitate to accept the opportunity even if it meant dropping everything he had planned.
"I was getting groceries with my wife for the week and they called and asked if I could be here Tuesday for a workout," Mauti said Wednesday.
