‘No. 74 is an eligible receiver’: At long last, Seahawks offensive tackle George Fant catches a pass!

Seahawks offensive tackle George Fant has been announced as an eligible receiver numerous times throughout the season. (Last week, he was even split out wide twice on Richard Sherman.) But his big moment finally came on Monday Night Football against the Minnesota Vikings, when Fant — a former tight end at Western Kentucky — got to put his receiving skills to use.

Early in the second half of Seattle’s 21-7 win over Minnesota, Fant was once again announced as eligible, and he then went out into the flat and caught a short pass from Wilson for his first career reception.
