Played football for one season as a tight end and saw limited action
In 2016 he signed with the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent
Tore his ACL in 2017 and missed the season
He has started 24 games as a hybrid lineman \ tight end in his career

The 27 year old Fant is listed at 6’5″ and 322lbs. He is going to be very raw because his football experience is limited. Joe Douglas obviously likes what he sees so the roster rebuild is officially underway. You can read more about George Fant to the NY Jets in our forums.
