The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... Bostick might not have hung onto the most important live ball of his career, but it didn't take long for him to latch on with another team. One month after dropping the onside kick that helped propel the Seattle Seahawks past the Green Bay Packers and into Super Bowl XLIX, Bostick has been claimed off waivers by the Vikings, the team announced Wednesday.
Diehards Line:
Bostick was primarily a special teamer and backup tight end in Green Bay, recording just two catches for a total of three yards and one touchdown in 2014. He has nine catches for 120 yards and two touchdowns over his two-year career. An injury to tight end Jermichael Finley in 2013 created a void at the position for the Packers, which Bostick helped fill along with fellow tight end Andrew Quarless. A year later, Green Bay drafted Richard Rodgers, relegating Bostick to multiple tight-end sets and special teams. That seems likely to be his role in Minnesota as well -- as long as Kyle Rudolph remains healthy (which obviously isn't a given).
