Tight end Noah Fant admitted that he was a little surprised when the Broncos sent him to Seattle as part of the trade for Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson but he understands the reasoning behind the move. He also appreciates the chance to make a fresh start and a name for himself here in the Emerald City.
“To be honest with you, I haven’t been really happy from my perspective with my production the last two years,” Fant told reporters on Tuesday. “Granted, it’s been decent production compared to other tight ends in the NFL. But I definitely am striving for more and better.”
In 16 games played for the Broncos last season, Fant tallied 68 receptions for 670 yards and four touchdowns. He plans to improve on those numbers significantly in 2022.
“Goals for year four is to take that leap, right?” Fant said. “I mean, I’m kind of stuck at that high 600 ceiling and I got to break through that. I think I have every opportunity to do that in Seattle, and I’m excited to get to work to do that.”
