Denver Broncos: Noah Fant attending George Kittle’s TE Summit
Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant is doing everything he can to improve his craft. He’s doing everything he can to be a better tight end than he was in 2020 and prior.
If that includes meeting up with fellow tight end opponents—which it does—then so be it.
On Thursday, Fant acknowledged to the media that he is planning on attending San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle’s tight end summit. The event will be held June 23rd through the 25th in Nashville, Tennessee.
Many tight ends are expected to attend, including Bills tight end Dawson Knox, Kansas City’s Travis Kelce, Philadelphia’s Zach Ertz, Baltimore’s Mark Andrews, Pittsburgh’s Eric Ebron, Miami’s Mike Gisicki, Detroit’s T.J. Hockenson, Chicago’s Cole Kmet, Cleveland’s David Njoku, Atlanta’s Kyle Pitts, New England’s Jonnu Smith, Green Bay’s Robert Tonyan, Los Angeles Rams Tyler Higbee, and Las Vegas’ Darren Waller.
Kittle, Kelce, and former tight end Greg Olsen will be managing the summit.
Former NFL quarterback and now current Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Tim Tebow (yes, that Tim Tebow) was also invited.
What can Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant learn during the summit?
Noah Fant will be one of the younger tight ends attending the event. While he looked very good during the first two seasons of his career, he can get better.
A lot of the players attending will be able to give Fant different tips and suggestions as to how to do something in a more efficient way. Those things range from the basics of running routes and catching the football to being a better all-around blocker.
One of the other things that is extremely valuable in this type of event is watching film.
At the end of the day, Kittle’s goal is to help players at his position get better. It is a tremendous thing that Fant has decided to take advantage of this opportunity to improve his game, and ultimately, do everything he can to help the Denver Broncos win in 2021 and in years to come.
Over the first two seasons of his career, Fant has caught 102 passes for 1,235 yards and six touchdowns. There is no doubt that this extra experience would help him in his journey to hopefully become a top-5 tight end later down the road.
