Noah Fant set multiple Denver Bronco records during strong rookie season
Noah Fant had a strong season with the Denver Broncos after a remarkable college career.
The former tight end for the Hawkeyes was a first-round draft pick by the Broncos this season. Though it took a while to find his groove, Fant did finish with a strong season and eclipsed the 100-yard mark on two occasions. He also finished with two rookie records for the Broncos.
According to the official team account, Fant set franchise records in catches (40) and receiving yards (562) for a rookie tight end. Fant also had three touchdowns.

Fant finished third on the team in catches but finished second in yardage. He was one of three Denver players with at least 40 catches, but Fant was one of just two Bronco players to eclipse 500 yards receiving.
With an impressive mix of size and speed for the position, it sure looks like the sky is the limit for Fant. He finished his Iowa career with over 1,000 yards receiving and 19 touchdowns.
