It’s not the easiest task in the world to play at right tackle, have the opportunity to move to left tackle, have a strong season at left tackle and then get moved back to right tackle.
But Jets’ right tackle George Fant is taking everything in stride and is ready for the challenge of being back on the right side after the team brought in Duane Brown and placed him at left tackle.
Speaking to the media Thursday, Fant told reporters about the move to right tackle.
“I only control what I can control, and that’s to be the best right tackle I can be,” he said. “You just have to be a pro in certain situations.”
At the very least, Fant is taking the high road and being a great team player.
Once Fant is fully healed from the foot injury he has been dealing with, it will be exciting to see what this offensive line can do. At least it’s full of consummate professionals.
