Earlier this week, the Broncos’ media department rolled out video highlights from Drew Lock’s rookie season. Today we get a look at Noah Fant’s highlights from last season.
Fant (6-4, 249 pounds) was selected by Denver after the Broncos traded down in the first round of the 2019 NFL draft, landing the Iowa product with the 20th overall pick. Fant went on to lead all rookie tight ends in catches (40), receiving yards (562) and yards per catch (14.0) in 2019.
Fant is part of a young core of players that appear to have bright futures in Denver, joining quarterback Drew Lock, wide receiver Courtland Sutton, running back Phillip Lindsay and linebacker Bradley Chubb, among others.
“[Next season will be] a big opportunity for us because we are very young and we finally have some experience as well as a young team,” Lock said on Dec. 29. “There’s time for us to build and be something super special.”
Fant will be a key piece of the team’s quest to become something special.
