Iowa’s Noah Fant, whose conference-record 11 touchdowns last season makes him the returning TDs leader among tight ends nationally this fall, does his business inside the Big Ten.
So labeling Jerome Washington as “arguably the best tight end in the Big Ten’’ — like a BTN studio analyst did earlier this month — is a bit misleading.
Frankly, there is no argument.
Fant, who earlier this week was named as a preseason AP All-American First-team honoree, is the best tight end in the Big Ten.
