I knew a Noah in school. I didn't love him, but he was a black belt in karate so I respected him. That's how I feel about the Noah Fant pick for the #Broncos

New #Broncos OC Rich Scangarello should be pleased with tight end in Noah Fant. Last year, Scangarello coached Iowa TE George Kittle in his record-setting season with the 49ers.

#Broncos drafting of Noah Fant signifies the end of Troy Fumagalli who hasn’t stepped foot on an NFL field.

Joe Flacco gets an Athletic and big weapon for the redzone, 3rd down situations.
