Not sure how that lines up with the talent/size of high caliber TE's we brought in under Frost. I "feel" like we have more receiving threat/oversized WR body types at the moment. Agreed. And even though Fidone's build/style maybe kind of fits that description, if he can stay healthy I think he can be a punishing blocker. Basing that partially on pictures of where his body seems to be at right now (looks pretty strong). Quote Link to comment

But yes he has to stay healthy 1 Quote Link to comment

He couldn't have been more than 220 last fall. He isn't gaining 30 lbs of muscle in an off-season, especially if they want him to keep his speed and quickness. 1 Quote Link to comment

I swear I watched an interview where he said himself he was 235 last season and was currently 245-250. It's not like he's 5'10. He has the frame to carry it. 1 Quote Link to comment

I just thought I heard he was up to 250 and at that weight he shouldn't have a hard time blocking 1 Quote Link to comment

Is it just because someone heard it, you missed it and don't believe it?? Not sure why you so strongly disrespecting what someone says. 1 Quote Link to comment

This is what YOU said directly at @MyBloodIsRed16 after he mentioned it a few times: "There is no way. He couldn't have been more than 220 last fall. He isn't gaining 30 lbs of muscle in an off-season, especially if they want him to keep his speed and quickness." I think you owe him an apology for being dead wrong with your arrogant responses. I mean, just imagine if he didn't have to put in the work to prove it to you. Everybody here would think he was crazy and you were sooo right. Which we know is not the case. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Long time posters on Husker board being arrogant??? “I’ll believe that when me s#!t turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet” 1 1 Quote Link to comment
