Nick Vannett Biography

Nick Vannett is one of the most popular and richest American Football Player who was born on March 6, 1993 in Westerville, Ohio, United States. Nick Vannett, born March 6, 1993, is an American football tight end who plays for the Denver Broncos (NFL). Vannett was a Ohio State student.

Vannett was signed by the Seattle Seahawks to a $4.05 million four-year contract. The signing bonus is $656,880.

On December 8, 2016, it was reported that Vannett had accepted his invitation to play in the 2016 Senior Bowl. The week leading up to the Senior Bowl, Vannett impressed many scouts and analysts during practice with many surprised by his blocking skills and receiving ability. He was described as a physically imposing receiver with strong hands and ability to concentrate on contested catches. On January 30, 2016, Vannett caught three passes for 58-yards as a part of Dallas Cowboys’ head coach Jason Garrett’s North team who lost 16–27 to the South. Vannett was one of 15 tight ends who received an invitation to the NFL Combine and one of 14 players from Ohio state. A back injury, prevented him from completing all of the combine drills, including the 40-yard dash, 20-yard dash, and 10-yard dash. His performance was described by scouts as mediocre as he finished eighth in the bench press and seventh in the vertical. His best performances were in the short shuttle, where he tied for second, and tied South Carolina State’s Temarrick Hemingway for first in the 60-yard shuttle. On March 11, 2016, Vannett attended Ohio State’s Pro Day, along with Cardale Jones, Pat Elflein, Eli Apple, Marshon Lattimore, Braxton Miller, Michael Thomas, Joey Bosa, Vonn Bell, Darron Lee, Taylor Decker, Ezekiel Elliott, Joshua Perry, Jalin Marshall, Adolphus Washington, and Tyvis Powell. Along with positional drills, Vannett performed the 40-yard dash, 20-yard dash, 20-yard dash, vertical jump (29½”), and broad jump (9’5″). He performed well for the collection of over 122 team representatives and scouts, that included head coaches Mike Mularkey (Titans), Mike Zimmer (Vikings, Mike Tomlin (Steelers), Sean Payton (Saints), and Marvin Lewis (Bengals). At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, Vannett was projected to be a third or fourth round pick by the majority of NFL draft experts and analysts. He was ranked the second best tight end prospect in the draft by Sports Illustrated, the third best tight end prospect by NFLDraftScout.com, and was ranked the fourth best tight end by NFL analyst Mike Mayock.

He played in the Seattle Seahawks’ season-opener at the Green Bay Packers and had one reception for a ten-yard gain during the 17–9 loss. On November 26, 2017, Vannett caught two passes for 29-yards and scored his first career touchdown in the Seahawks’ 24–13 victory at the San Francisco 49ers. His first career touchdown came in the third quarter as he beat 49ers’ linebacker Eli Harold and caught a pass from Russell Wilson to score a 27-yard touchdown to help the Seahawks gain a 13-6 lead. The following week, Vannett started his second game of the season and made a season-high three receptions for 40 receiving yards in a 24–10 victory against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Vannett was injured in his ankle and couldn’t finish the Seahawks’ preseason match against the Minnesota Vikings. The high ankle strain caused Vannett to miss the preseason and four regular season games. Vannett made his professional regular-season debut on October 16, 2016 during the Seahawks’ 26-24 win against the Atlanta Falcons. In his debut, he played three offensive snaps as well as two special teams. After suffering a knee injury, Seahawks tight end Luke Willson was forced to leave the game. This would have required surgery to repair the damaged cartilage and stretch ligaments. Vannett was promoted to the depth chart in Willson’s place. Vannett received his first career reception on October 30, 2016 in a loss to the New Orleans Saints, 25-20. Vannett received his first career reception via Russell Wilson’s pass. He gained seven yards before being tackled and beaten by De’Vante Harris, a Saints cornerback. Vannett’s first ever career start was made in Week 10, when the Seahawks beat the Patriots 31-24. Vannett made his second career start on December 4, 2016. He caught two passes for 25 yards, a record-setting performance by a Seahawks player. Vannett was an injury-prone player from Weeks 16-17. However, Pete Carroll chose to play Brandon Williams, Luke Willson, and Jimmy Graham during the postseason. He finished the 2016 season with three receptions for 32 yards receiving and played in nine games, with two starts.
