New York Jets offensive tackle George Fant had himself one heck of a 2021 season, developing into one of the most reliable pass-protecting offensive linemen in the NFL.
Over 15 games, Fant allowed just 18 total pressures (including only one sack) across 594 pass-blocking snaps. That is a pressure rate of 3.03%, which stands as the third-lowest rate in the NFL among left tackles behind only Tyron Smith (2.39%) and Andrew Whitworth (2.50%) – two likely Hall-of-Famers.
Not only that, but Fant set a new Jets franchise record for the lowest pressure rate allowed in a season by an offensive tackle since Pro Football Focus began tracking pressures in 2006.
