All offseason there was a ton of speculation about what the Denver Broncos would do with the tenth overall pick. They were heavily linked to Drew Lock at ten, and many people assumed they would draft a signal-caller. Instead, the Broncos threw everybody for a loop by trading down with the Steelers and moving to 20th.

With the 20th pick they opted for a tight end, nabbing Noah Fant out of Iowa. They still ended up getting Lock in the second round, so everything worked out pretty well. Ahead of his rookie season, the folks over at Pro Football Focus shared an insane stat that shows just how dominant Fant was with the Hawkeyes.

Per PFF, Fant had an absurd 131.2 passer rating when targeted last season. Given his knack for scoring touchdowns and being an elite redzone threat, it's not too surprising. Fant had 39 catches last year, and seven of them went for touchdowns. The year before that he had 30 catches, and 11 of them were touchdowns, so it makes sense why his passer rating when targeted is always so high.

Fant is an interesting prospect because he more or less came out of nowhere. He wasn't a top recruit out of high school, and he barely played as a freshman. He then burst onto the scene as a sophomore, setting the school record for touchdowns by a tight end.

Fant is an athletic freak, who should be able to contribute right away on offense. There's some concern about his blocking skills, but with his athleticism and strength he should hopefully be able to learn pretty quickly. The Broncos haven't had a real threat at tight end since the Julius Thomas days, so Fant could end up being a huge addition for years to come.
