Scouting Report: Strengths
- Above-average football smarts and general intelligence. Plays with a nasty streak. Solid character and work ethic.
- Has the agility, technique, and size to contribute early in his professional career. Quick, active hands to latch on to defenders.
- When his hand placement is right, Fano has the strong grip that allows him to manhandle opponents. Fano plays with a mean streak and keeps the nastiness going through the whistle.
- Finds defenders with his hands immediately and gets feet moving to engage and sustain.
- Does a nice job on the second level, moving upfield quickly and showing the flexibility and balance to land blocks in space.
- Awareness is above-average for his limited experience. Sells trap block and can turn to seal. Fluid getting to and adjust at the second level.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Tends to slip off blocks when going against bigger linemen, and Fano too often finishes plays on the ground.
- His hands aren’t violent enough to stand pass rushers up early in the down, and he generally plays with poor balance.
- He’s shaky as a pass protector, which is troublesome for the next level. Fano often plays too high with an inconsistent kick slide.
