Vikings 90-man roster player profile: WR Garett Maag

The last player to sign with the Vikings, Maag is the latest hometown wide receiver to sign with the team.

Welcome to the beginning of our 2023 season preview content!

Over the next few weeks, we will be looking at each player on the roster in-depth with backgrounds and how they currently project forward on the Minnesota Vikings roster.

What is the best-case scenario? What is the worst-case scenario? What should we expect from them during the preseason and beyond? We will break all of that down here.

As a staff, all of us at Vikings Wire ranked the entire 90-man roster 1-90 and will be releasing player profiles in reverse order.

Vikings sign UDFA WR Garett Maag

With the retirement of tight end Ben Ellefson, the Minnesota Vikings signed rookie WR Garett Maag out of North Dakota to the 90 man roster.

The Minnesota Vikings have signed UDFA wide receiver Garett Maag, as reported by The Draft Network’s Ryan Fowler. The roster spot was made available with the retirement of tight end Ben Ellefson earlier Thursday.

Maag’s size (6-4, 210 pounds), paired with his ability, has made him a hot commodity since finishing his career at North Dakota. The former fifth-year senior was invited to the rookie camps of multiple teams, including the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles. He is a native of Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota.

Before the draft, he was listed by Fowler as a “sleeper to watch” because of his gaudy measurables at his pro day.

After this, he held a second pro day where he only ran routes and performed the bench press with teammate Tyler Hoosman. He impressed there as well, as scouts from 10 teams, including the Vikings, watched.

The Minnesota receiver room has suffered multiple casualties this offseason, perhaps opening up room for Maag to compete for significant reps this summer.

In his five collegiate seasons, Maag pulled in 164 receptions for 2,205 yards and 19 touchdowns.

2023 NFL draft: Giants undrafted rookie free agent tracker

The rush to sign undrafted rookie free agents is underway! Here’s a live 2023 tracker for the New York Giants.

The 2023 NFL draft has officially come to a close and the frenzy to sign undrafted rookie free agents (UDFA) is underway.

For general manager Joe Schoen and the New York Giants, they’ll look to add several players prior to the start of rookie mini-camp which will take place from May 5-6 in East Rutherford.

“I think you tie in free agency and you tie in the draft and I’m excited to go upstairs and see where we are on some undrafted free agents,” general manager Joe Schoen said after the draft.

It’s important to note that UDFA signings are not announced by the NFL, so some initial reports may be incorrect, changed or, unfortunately, outright faked. Until the Giants/NFL themselves announce the signings, these should all be considered rumors and subject to change.

As signings and rookie mini-camp invites are reported, we’ll update this article. So keep refreshing.
