The Cincinnati Bengals appear to have done a little digging on their soon-to-be-newest tight end, Noah Fant—and it seems they like what they found.
After news broke Thursday morning that Fant, a free agent following his recent release from the Seattle Seahawks, is expected to sign with Cincinnati, an old post of Fant's resurfaced … one that has to do with Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.
In the post, Fant was effusive in his praise of the LSU export, writing that "whatever you call [Burrow], he's the real deal."
Of course, the Bengals quickly caught wind of this missive and re-posted it themselves, at which point they added an apt eyeball emoji in the caption.
The rare case where digging up old social media posts actually results in a W.
Once signed, Fant will join a high-octane offense powered by Burrow and his favorite targets Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, as well as a tight end room led by veteran Mike Gesicki.
