Vikings 90-man roster player profile: TE Nick Muse

Nick Muse Vikings

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.

Background

Name: Nick Muse

Rank: 57

Height: 6’4″

Weight: 249 lbs

Experience: 2nd year

College: South Carolina

Stats (In 2022): 10 games

Votes: 

Tyler Forness: 57

Kevin Fielder: 57

Judd Zulgad: 56

Saivion Mixson: 57

Average: 56.75

Best case scenario

Muse came into the league with a large learning curve as a tight end, but he has a really good athletic profile. Muse played in 10 games last season with all of his snaps coming on special teams. With a really good training camp, Muse could see a significant amount of snaps with the shift to 12 personnel.

Worst case scenario

Tight end is an extremely difficult position to translate. It requires you to be a wide receiver and an offensive tackle. Muse didn’t show a lot during last year’s training camp and he could easily be beaten out by Johnny Mundt, who has some guaranteed money, whereas Muse has none.

What to expect in 2023

Muse is going to have a really good opportunity to make the team with only four tight ends on the roster and the Vikings could realistically keep four of them with the shift to 12 personnel. Muse will likely have more time to make an impression because of that.
