Anthony Fabiano (born July 13, 1993) is an American football center for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Harvard and was signed by the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent in 2016.
High school career[]
During high school, he played defensive end and tight end at Wakefield High School and was team captain his senior year. He also led his team with nine sacks, 57 tackles, and had 23 catches for 267 receiving yards. He was a two-year starter on the football team.[1] He also played basketball at Wakefield High.
During his junior year, he received an offer from Harvard after sending all the Ivy League schools game film. He also received an offer from Boston College but verbally committed to Harvard, solely based on academics, where he was elected a member of the Owl Club[2]
College career[]
Fabiano began attending Harvard in 2012 as a freshman and played in 10 games at left tackle that season. He followed it up, playing in five games the next season in 2013. In 2014, he started all ten games at right guard and began generating interest from NFL scouts for his athletic ability and versatility. For his senior season, he was named to Reese's Senior bowl watch list and was likely on track for an invitation to the senior bowl after playing in seven games.[3] On October 30, 2015, he suffered a major injury when he hyper extended his toe, partially tore a toe tendon, and fractured bone in his foot in a game against Dartmouth virtually ending his season and collegiate career.[1]
Professional career[]
Pre-draft[]
Fabiano was scheduled to miss both the NFL scouting combine and Harvard's Pro Day due to a toe/foot injury he suffered in October. He used an ARP Wave Machine to accelerate the healing process and was able to begin training six weeks before Harvard's Pro Day. He was able to go through all the workouts and positional drills in front of scouts and representatives from 20 NFL teams. According to the Seattle Seahawks' SPARQ formula that evaluates a prospect's athletic ability, Fabiano was rated the most athletic offensive line prospect in the 2016 NFL Draft.[4]
