Nebraska Football Players Aim to Impress at NFL Combine

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Four Nebraska football players are set to participate in the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine, which begins this weekend. Ty Robinson, Tommi Hill, Eric Fidone, and Isaiah Neyor will showcase their skills to NFL scouts and team executives in hopes of improving their draft stock.

Among the quartet, Robinson and Hill are considered to have the best chances of boosting their draft prospects significantly. Robinson, a defensive lineman, will focus on demonstrating his strength and agility, while Hill, a defensive back, aims to prove his recovery from a foot injury sustained in the previous season.

Fidone, a former tight end for the Huskers, will show his versatility in both blocking and catching. Despite struggling with injuries and inconsistent quarterback play during his time in Lincoln, he managed to finish his college career with 61 receptions, 613 yards, and four touchdowns.

“I’m excited to finally show what I can do,” Fidone said. “I’ve worked hard to get back to full health and I’m ready to make an impact.”

Neyor, who played his first full season since 2021, aims to demonstrate that his speed and hands remain sharp. He caught 34 balls for 455 yards and five touchdowns last season, falling short of the 44 receptions for 878 yards and 12 touchdowns he achieved in his standout 2021 season with Wyoming.

“There’s always more to prove, and I’m ready to show I haven’t lost a step,” Neyor stated. “I want to prove I can be a reliable target.”

The NFL Combine will feature players participating in various drills and evaluations, with specific events scheduled from February 27 to March 2. The combine takes place at Lucas Oil Stadium, having served as the host venue since 1987. It will include drills for placekickers, defensive linemen, linebackers, quarterbacks, wide receivers, and more.

As excitement builds around this year’s combine, fans can tune in to the NFL Network for live coverage, with events also available for streaming on NFL+. For those attending, general admission tickets to the combine are free, and fans can engage with the NFL Experience, featuring interactive activities and the chance to meet NFL legends.

With the NFL draft scheduled for April 24-26, players have a critical window to enhance their visibility before team selectors make their picks.
