Height: 6’ 9.5”
Weight: 268 lbs 40 yard Dash: 5.10 Bench Reps: 16 Vertical Jump: 32” Wozniak completed his four year career for the Gophers this fall as an anchor on the end of the Minnesota offensive line. Wozniak was a dependable blocker for the Gophers with the occasional flash of pass catching ability. In 34 games for the Gophers over four seasons Wozi caught 28 passes for 314 yards and never got into the end zone. Wozniak’s ability to run block and serve as a 6th man on the offensive line is what is spurring most of his draft interest. He could see some reps at a offensive tackle spot for a team in a pinch. While not a top pass catching threat, he has improved his receiving over the past season or two and would not be a liability as a potential huge target in the red zone. While most Gopher fans probably don’t think of Wozniak as a prototypical NFL tight end, his draft steam seems to be picking up as the draft nears. Mike Freeman of Bleacher Report has Wozi as one of his four more players to watch in the draft. He says about him: Wozniak is 6’9” and 260 pounds. He’s spoken to more than a dozen NFL teams, and while he’s as good a blocker as there is at the tight end position in this draft, teams are also discovering he can run routes and catch passes. Teams that worked him out have been stunned by his speed and hands. ”Most teams think of me as a blocking tight end,” he told me. “That’s what I did, and do, well. But I do have upside in the passing game.” Wozniak said one of the most interesting things for him during the draft process has been taking the Athletic Intelligence Quotient test. It measures cognitive abilities in athletes. “There were questions about shape rotations and memory tests,” said Wozniak. Here’s what to remember about Wozniak: He’s going to be a better pass-catcher than many know. https://www.thedailygopher.com/2018/...ed-zone-threat |

Tremendous Blocker who still has room to improve with regards to his technique...
Needs a lot of work as a receiver, but could be intriguing in the red zone... Looking at this roster, if he shows up and improves daily, has a good chance to unseat the oft-injured Michael Hoomanawanui as the third TE... |

He's a raw talent.
We have the best receiver coach in football. If we can teach him to catch, he'll be a formidable tight end. |
Re: Nate Wozniak has signed a free agent deal with the New Orleans Saints
But can he do a back flip?

Re: Nate Wozniak has signed a free agent deal with the New Orleans Saints
5.1? I’m not feeling that.

Re: Nate Wozniak has signed a free agent deal with the New Orleans Saints
Blocking TE. Hoofs as hands is the word. Might improve some but not enough to be considered a reliable option, at least for a few years anyway. Major project.

Re: Nate Wozniak has signed a free agent deal with the New Orleans Saints
a very cheap option for 3rd TE and special teams
6'10" plus 32 vertical = put him on the line for EP's and FG's |
