Nate Wozniak has signed a free agent deal with the New Orleans Saints
Guys...... 6 foot 10, 270 lbs |
Re: Nate Wozniak has signed a free agent deal with the New Orleans Saints
He'll be carrying the offense...
http://stmedia.stimg.co/08-100425552...rop&crop=faces Looks like a great all around TE with tons of upside. Anti-Graham-He blocks well |
Re: Nate Wozniak has signed a free agent deal with the New Orleans Saints
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 |
Re: Nate Wozniak has signed a free agent deal with the New Orleans Saints
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... |
Re: Nate Wozniak has signed a free agent deal with the New Orleans Saints
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 |
Re: Nate Wozniak has signed a free agent deal with the New Orleans Saints
A lot of teams were looking at him from what I read. He's smart to come here if he had a choice. Brees's accuracy can compensate for below average receiving skills. He'll put it right between those two big cinder block hands.

Cracked up at the Jurasic video. Thanks for the laugh Smash

Re: Nate Wozniak has signed a free agent deal with the New Orleans Saints
Don't need him to stretch the field. Just out jump DB's.

Re: Nate Wozniak has signed a free agent deal with the New Orleans Saints
There will be several new tight ends at camp this year and I'm hoping one of the rookies blossoms with Curtis Johnson teaching him how to play the position.

Re: Nate Wozniak has signed a free agent deal with the New Orleans Saints
Nope; can’t run at all 🙄

He actually looks like he could bulk up that frame a little |
Re: Nate Wozniak has signed a free agent deal with the New Orleans Saints
I think its a good signing for us.
It will be interesting to see how the Saints develop him in the future. A 6ft 10ins he "should" be a good target for Brees to throw to in the end zone. Wouldn't want to be the defender who has to mark this guy! :-) GEAUX SAINTS! |
Re: Nate Wozniak has signed a free agent deal with the New Orleans Saints
Toilolo is 2 inches shorter and about as fast, and weighs less.

Broke 2 tackles and ran for 50 yds. I'll take it.

Re: Nate Wozniak has signed a free agent deal with the New Orleans Saints
If he makes the team Woz will break Madden with that height. Except that it's already broken.

Re: Nate Wozniak has signed a free agent deal with the New Orleans Saints
Damn that's a whole lot of Rosie!
