You read the title correctly: I truly believe that a soon-to-be 30-year-old offensive tackle is the most fascinating player on this young and flashy New York Jets team heading into the 2022 season.
George Fant is such an interesting player for so many reasons. He is surrounded by a boatload of compelling storylines.
I thought Fant was the Jets’ best player in 2021. He provided elite pass protection on the blind side throughout the entire season, finishing the year having allowed only 18 pressures on 594 pass-blocking snaps (3.0% pressure rate).
