Noah Fant – Tight End, Iowa

The tight end position is another group that had plenty of great performances, but Noah Fant certainly stood out. Fant tested in the 90th percentile or above in the 40-yard dash, vertical, broad jump, 3-cone, and 20-yard shuttle. So you’re dealing with someone who is about as elite an athlete that you’ll find at the position. Much like Evan Engram back when he was coming out of Ole Miss, but Fant is an inch taller and about 15lbs heavier.

A wide receiver in the tight ends body, Fant is what you want in the modern NFL. He understands the finer points out route running and has natural hands to complement. He

Fant was projected as a late first round/early second round prospect. However, with what he showed this weekend, there is no way this guy gets out of the first round.
