When former Iowa football player Noah Fant fell to the Denver Broncos with the 20th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, it couldn’t have been a better match.
The Denver Broncos have struggled to find a consistent threat from the tight end position since the Julius Thomas days, and with a quarterback that LOVES his tight ends, they needed someone that could consistently be a threat on the field.
The Denver Broncos have certainly tried to fill the tight end position with an influx of Big Ten tight ends, but mostly due to injury, they’ve struggled.
Armed with a mid-1st round pick and an incredibly gifted receiving threat at tight end available, they made the decision to pull the trigger on a perfect match for their new offense.
