Draft Profile: Bio
Thomas Fidone II from Lewis Central High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. After high school, Fidone II opted to join Nebraska.

In 2021 as a freshman Fidone II saw action in just one game for the Cornhuskers and didn't feature in the passing game.

As a sophomore in 2023 he played 12 games and had 25 catches for 260 yards for an average of 10.4 yards per catch, with 4 TDs, and QB rating when targeted of 72.3.
Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Looks and runs like a lanky receiver. High-cut, long and lean frame. Deceptive speed and enough quickness to separate.
  • Good short-area foot quickness with very good footwork.
  • He’s lanky and long-armed, but Fidone has the broad-shouldered frame to carry more weight. Fidone was a national high-jump champion in high school, and that athleticism translates to the passing game.
  • Has enough speed to challenge the seam but does not possess elite top-end speed.
  • Fidone runs precise routes, showing an innate feel for setting up defensive backs to create separation.
  • A lean athlete with obvious upside. Soft hands. Flashes the ability to make the outstanding catch.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • He’ll give enough effort to get in the way, but because Fidone doesn’t get any push in the run game, he won’t be used in-line early in his career.
  • He’s largely a non-factor downfield, and he had issues with drops when running behind a defensive back and tracking the ball. More quick than fast, he won’t always be able to run away from NFL defensive backs.
  • Because his top-end speed is good-not-great, he doesn’t warrant safety help over the top.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
