So Fant has played a little TE lately because of the injuries at the position (Dissly). He has basically come in as an extra blocking TE. Why not? He’s the backup Tackle so having him as an extra blocker is a great move. Fant played basketball in college so the guy obviously is athletic and as someone who handled a basketball must have some good hands. Could we see him eventually running some TE routes as a receiver? He would have to report as a tackle eligible when doing so. I’m sure the NFL has a rule somewhere that players can only have one number. But what if he were also theoretically assigned a receiver eligible number? I remember way back in HS we went a couple of games were one of our guys had to play on the line occasionally. He had an extra jersey that he would slip on for those plays.
