Hosack was snubbed by every major college all star game as well as the NFL combine. Some experts still had Hosack going in the 2004 NFL Draft as early as the second round. To the contrary he went undrafted that year, due not to character issues but to a lack of athletic ability.

While emulating some of the leagues best receivers, he accumulated 56 touchdown receptions during practice sessions with the team. Hosack was named the 2004 Week 12 Scout Team Player of the Week once during his career with the Vikings.

In an effort to improve international relations, and a need to reduce the payroll, the Vikings decided to allocate Hosack to play overseas for the Frankfurt Galaxy in NFL Europe.

Hosack's career was abruptly cut short when Saints head coach Sean Payton told him that his scout team services would no longer be required during the 2007 NFL preseason. During the 2007 regular season Hosack's services were not inquired by any NFL team.
