Noah Fant: The More Things Stay the Same, the More They Change

March 15, 2024

It may have surprised some when Noah Fant, hitting free agency for the first time in his NFL career, decided to stay with the Seattle Seahawks. Fant signed a two-year deal, which left me scratching my head initially. I had high hopes for Fant landing on a new team, with the promise of an expanded role in an offense and a chance to finally realize his potential. It did not look like this would be the case if he remained a Seahawk. Then I looked closer and realized how much sense the move made. I also realized how much I loved it.

The Story So Far

The passage of time might have caused us to forget how freakish an athletic prospect Fant was coming into the NFL. He ran a 4.5 40-yard dash at the 2019 NFL scouting combine, a 6.81 three cone, and posted a 39.5 vertical jump. All these marks placed him in the 97th percentile for those categories. The same is true for his 121 Speed Score. He ranked in the 98th percentile with a 166 Explosion Score. The guy was, as I said earlier, freaky.

The Denver Broncos took Fant with the 20th overall pick in that year’s draft. He spent three seasons with the Broncos before being sent to the Seattle Seahawks as part of the Russell Wilson trade. Speaking of which, does anyone know how that’s gone for both sides? Can’t seem to find anything online. . . .

Neil Dutton September 30, 2025
