Jalen Tate would ride shotgun through Hell in a gasoline suit for Noah Fant. With one caveat:
Noah can’t be behind the wheel.
“When we were in high school, Noah had this little “Need For Speed” kick,” Tate says of Fant, the Broncos’ first-round draft pick, the tight end out of Iowa who’s already drawn comparisons to Shannon Sharpe before even taking an NFL snap. “And it lasted about two months, because after he got one ticket, his parents weren’t having it anymore. They said, ‘You better chill out, or this car is coming with me.’”
Ah, but for a glorious few weeks, if there was an empty lot to be found around greater Omaha, it was The Fant and the Furious time.
