The Seattle Seahawks had plenty of opportunities to see what George Fant could do at tackle during his early years in the league, but the team opted to start the likes of Germain Ifedi and Brandon Shell at left tackle during his time with the team. That led to Fant’s departure for the New York Jets ahead of the 2020 season, where he played both right tackle and left tackle.
When his contract with the Jets was up following the 2022 season, Fant then signed with the Houston Texans, where he appeared in 16 games with 13 starts during the 2023 season, and now is set to return to Seattle according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Fant will provide veteran depth at both tackle positions, and will provide a high level insurance policy at right tackle should chronic knee issues continue to bother right tackle Abe Lucas.
