Tuesday began as a routine day for Johnsburg graduate Kyle Fiedorowicz.

“I was just hanging out,” said Fiedorowicz, an NCAA Division III All-America senior tight end at Naperville’s North Central College. “I had just finished working out with a buddy of mine.”

One phone call changed his day and perhaps his plans for the immediate future.

The call, at around 3 p.m., was from the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, who invited the 6-foot-7 Fiedorowicz to join them for a tryout at their rookie mini-camp this weekend at their training facility in Metairie, La.

Fiedorowicz will fly to New Orleans this morning and fly home Sunday night.

“It was only a little notice ... but I don’t mind,” he said. “I’ve got a lot of nerves, not knowing what to expect. It still doesn’t feel like it’s really happening.”

Fiedorowicz made plenty of things happen on the field for North Central, where he finished his career last fall as a three-time, first-team All-College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin player. He also was the only tight end in the country chosen for the National Football Coaches Association’s D-III All-America team.

He ranks second in school history with 22 touchdown catches and led the team last season with 22 catches for 381 yards and eight TDs.

Fiedorowicz will compete this weekend along with the Saints’ draft picks and other undrafted rookies. A strong showing could lead to a contract offer from the Saints.

Hearing from New Orleans was no surprise to Fiedorowicz. The Saints were one of several teams to visit North Central last season, he said.

He also drew interest before last month’s NFL draft from Miami and Buffalo and attended a pre-draft workout conducted annually in Lake Forest for local athletes by the Bears.
