As the New York Jets started training camp, the announcement was made that George Fant would be playing left tackle. After the injury to Mekhi Becton, Fant is sliding over to right tackle and Duane Brown will play left tackle. Coach Saleh was asked what the conversation was like when they told Fant.
For George, his curse is also a blessing in that he is extremely versatile, very athletic. He is a team guy, tremendously talented, so to give him the opportunity to go play right tackle, obviously, he is a competitor.
