Previously playing in Seattle, the return of George Fant and Nick Harris to the Pacific Northwest should be a major boon for a young Seahawks offensive line.

has limited prior ties to most of the players he will now be working with coaching up the offensive line.

with both players, starting with an interesting connection with Fant. Even though he never coached him previously, he met him through one of his mentors in long-time NFL line coach Howard Mudd, who spent time with him after he signed with the Seahawks as an undrafted rookie. Formerly a basketball player at Western Kentucky, Fant entered the NFL with minimal football experience, playing in just two games with one reception for the Hilltoppers as a fifth-year senior. A novice to the tackle position after signing with the team, the Seahawks linked him up with Mudd, who previously served as the offensive line coach for the franchise on two different occasions as part of an illustrious 36-year coaching career in the league.

Now a savvy veteran offering immense versatility and insight to pass onto Cross, Lucas, and the rest of his younger peers, Seattle wasted little time making a strong offer chocked full of incentives to bring Fant back to where his career began. Capable of playing at a high level at either tackle spot as well as contributing as a sixth lineman in certain packages, Huff views him as an excellent insurance policy who will make the entire offensive line group better by his sheer presence alone.

Injuries proved to be problematic for Harris in Cleveland, including missing the entire 2022 season, costing him a prime opportunity to compete against former Seattle starter Ethan Pocic to take over as the new starter at the pivot position.
