Broncos news: Expert likes Noah Fant's breakout chances

Although Broncos news is scarce right now, this is the time of year for bold predictions and optimistic looks into the future.

The Denver Broncos have assembled a tremendous group of young talent on the offensive side of the football, not the least of which is 2019 first-round pick Noah Fant.

Fant, whose rookie season was a bit up-and-down, wound up posting excellent numbers for a rookie tight end, numbers that rival the first season of just about any and every prominent tight end in the league right now.

He finished his rookie season with 40 receptions for 562 yards and three touchdowns, and he might have done even better if the Broncos hadn't schemed so many plays with Fant getting the ball three yards behind the line of scrimmage.
