George Fant believes he can become an All-Pro tackle with the Jets and is looking forward to the opportunity to prove himself whether it’s on the left side or right side.

The Jets signed Fant to a three-year, $27.3 million contract to be their starting left tackle. But then they drafted 6-7, 363-pound left tackle Mekhi Becton from Louisville with the No. 11 pick. Fant, a former Seahawk, believes his best position is left tackle.
