The Giants’ latest roster lock could make Nebraska proud

Former Nebraska football star Thomas Fidone appears to be cementing a post for himself on the New York Giants, despite the right end being a 7th-round pick in this spring's NFL Draft. He's already had a very good preseason, but this weekend, he showed that he can be a real weapon in the NFL.

In seemingly locking down a spot on the Giants' 53-man roster, Fidone also scored his first NFL touchdown. While the preseason score won't count in his official stats, it does show that he is absolutely someone who can make other defenses account for him when New York is moving down the field, and especially in the Red Zone.
