Nebraska football is looking to get several players drafted by NFL franchises next month.Over the past few days, four former Huskers participated workouts and interviews at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. Here is how each of those players performed.Feb 27, 2025; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Nebraska defensive lineman Ty Robinson (DL30) speaks during the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine at the Indiana Convention Center. / Kirby Lee-Imagn ImagesDefensive tackle Ty Robinson was the first Husker to take part in the combine’s physical side on Thursday.Ty Robinson is a DT prospect in the 2025 draft class. He scored an unofficial 9.84 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 30 out of 1834 DT from 1987 to 2025. Splits projected, will be a full card with official times.https://t.co/cg9JRrvVx9 pic.twitter.com/eRtuWq6yV0— Kent Lee Platte (@MathBomb) February 28, 2025While Robinson’s size and agility ranked as good, his speed and explosion both popped off as elite. Grabbing the most eyeballs was his 40-yard dash, which came in at 4.83 secondsNebraska DT Ty Robinson ran an official 4.83 forty while reaching a top speed of 20.64 mph, both the fastest marks among defensive tackles.His speed at 10 yards (16.98 mph) is the fourth-fastest by a DT over the last three years.🔗: https://t.co/XTFadPE5Em pic.twitter.com/GG3GhPOUy1— Next Gen Stats (@NextGenStats) February 27, 2025The Relative Athletic Score comparisons for Robinson include Taven Bryan from Florida in 2018, Ruke Orhorora from Clemson in 2024, and Keion White from Georgia Tech in 2023. Those players were drafted in the first, second, and second rounds, respectively.On Friday, Robinson did 28 reps of the bench press at 225 pounds. That was tied for second among defensive tackles, trailing just the 29 reps from Maryland’s Jordan Phillips.Feb 27, 2025; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Nebraska defensive lineman Ty Robinson (DL30) participates in drills during the 2025 NFL Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium. / Kirby Lee-Imagn ImagesNFL analyst Lance Zierlein gave his analysis of Robinson on NFL.com.”Bully with a roughshod playing style that forces blockers to match his physicality,” Zierlein said. “Robinson is built for the trenches with the versatility to play in odd or even fronts. He’s first into contact with his hands and mitigates average knee-bend with brute force in his upper half. He’s powerful to set edges but lacks length to control and quickly shed NFL blockers. He’s an effort rusher with active hands who can exploit a weak edge and thrive in gaming fronts but possesses average creativity. Robinson might not be a star, but his effort, strength and demeanor could make him a productive pro for years to come.”Zierlein compared Robinson to current NFL defensive tackle Grover Stewart for the Indianapolis Colts. Stewart was drafted in the fourth round in 2017 out of Albany State. He has played in 124 games over eight seasons in Indianapolis, totaling 308 tackles and 12.5 sacks.Feb 27, 2025; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Nebraska tight end Thomas Fidone (TE09) during the 2025 NFL Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium. / Tanner Pearson-Imagn ImagesTight end Thomas Fidone II was one of two Huskers to begin their testing at the combine on Friday.Thomas Fidone II is a TE prospect in the 2025 draft class. He scored an unofficial 9.37 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 78 out of 1216 TE from 1987 to 2025.

His 40-yard dash at 4.7 seconds tied for fourth among tight ends, trailing Oregon’s Terrance Ferguson (4.63s), South Carolina’s Joshua Simon (4.65s), and Alabama’s CJ Dippre (4.69s).Fidone’s broad jump was exceptionally impressive, as he went 10 feet, six inches. That mark was two inches further than the second-best jump.Feb 28, 2025; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Nebraska tight end Thomas Fidone (TE09) runs in the 40 yard dash during the 2025 NFL Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium. / Kirby Lee-Imagn ImagesThe Relative Athletic Score comparisons for Fidone include Stephen Sullivan from LSU in 2020, Greg Dulcich from UCLA in 2022, and Tanner McLachlan from Arizona in 2024. Those players were drafted in the seventh, third, and sixth rounds, respectively.The tight end @PSchrags is most excited to see?@HuskerFootball TE Thomas Fidone II 🌽🏈#NFLCombine pic.twitter.com/urkwGEEo7d— NFL GameDay (@NFLGameDay) February 28, 2025NFL analyst Lance Zierlein gave his analysis of Robinson on NFL.com.”Fidone is long and linear with impressive athleticism but just two years of game experience due to injuries over his first two seasons,” Zierlein said. “He’s a willing blocker with pretty good technique but needs to add strength to handle the work in-line. He needs to become more elusive with his release and more physical at the catch point, but he’s fast and fluid through his routes. He has the ability to uncover and stress the defense beyond the first level. Fidone’s effort, athleticism and ability to improve a passing game give him a chance to become a TE2 in the NFL.”Zierlein compared Fidone to currentl NFL tight end Josh Oliver for the Minnesota Vikings. Oliver was drafted in the third round in 2019 out of San Jose State by the Jacksonville Jaguars. In 67 games over five seasons for the Jaguars, Baltimore Ravens, and Vikings, Oliver has notched 70 receptions for 701 yards and seven touchdowns.Feb 27, 2025; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Nebraska defensive back Tommi Hill (DB14) during the 2025 NFL Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium. / Tanner Pearson-Imagn ImagesCornerback Tommi Hill did his measurements in Indianapolis, but did not participate in any of the on-field drills. Hill weighed in at 213 pounds, up from the 205 he was listed at last fall.Hill played in just seven games this past season due to a foot injury. If that gets healed, Hill could run at Nebraska’s Pro Day on March 25.Mar 1, 2025; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Nebraska wideout Isaiah Neyor (WO34) during the 2025 NFL Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium. / Kirby Lee-Imagn ImagesWide receiver Isaiah Neyor didn’t get going with his on-field participation until the weekend, but when he did his elite athleticism shown through.Isaiah Neyor is a WR prospect in the 2025 draft class. He scored an unofficial 9.97 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 11 out of 3408 WR from 1987 to 2025. Splits projected, times unofficial.https://t.co/TmcbybAh18 pic.twitter.com/s3I00O62Et— Kent Lee Platte (@MathBomb) March 1, 2025With his 40-yard dash officially at 4.4, he finished 11th among his wideouts. His explosiveness, however, had him 10th in the vertical (38″) and second in the broad jump (11’1″).The Relative Athletic Score comparisons for Neyor include Calvin Johnson from Georgia Tech in 2007, Julio Jones from Alabama in 2011, and Isaiah Weston from Northern Iowa in 2022. Johnson and Jones were taken with the second and sixth picks in their drafts, while Weston went undrafted.Mar 1, 2025; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Nebraska wideout Isaiah Neyor (WO34) during the 2025 NFL Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium. / Kirby Lee-Imagn ImagesNFL analyst Lance Zierlein gave his analysis of Robinson on NFL.com.”Height, weight, speed prospect who finished five years of college with just two seasons of double-digit catches,” Zierlein said. “Neyor is a long-strider with the ability to separate in his stems and turns. His nearly seven-foot wingspan is on display with catch-radius grabs, but he lacks the toughness and hand strength to finish when contested. His blend of size, speed and separation potential is valuable, but his skill level still needs to be developed, which could make him a practice squad candidate.
