Tony hits more than a young Hugh Hefner

Fiammetta excelled at the 2009 NFL Scouting Combine, where he led all running backs with 30 repetitions (of 225 pounds) in the bench press. He also finished with a time of 4.6 seconds in the 40-yard dash, .02 seconds faster than former Georgia star and current Denver Bronco Knowshon Moreno

From someone who has lived in Syracuse while in college for the past 4 years, nobody knows where we have been hiding this guy. We hardly heard of him until draft time.

He looks and sounds like a beast, but I think we should keep our expectations low. I really don't expect a rookie fullback to come in and set the world on fire his first year.

I don't think many if any are expecting that. I knew about him coming into the draft as far and away the best FB in the draft I just didn't forsee Carolina looking for a FB this year because of Hoover. I for one am interested in the way he is progressing maybe more than anyone in this years draft mainly because I love to watch a good running game. Can't wait to see him hit someone in preseason.

wow

I'm glad the Observer saw this thread and recognized the need for more articles on the manbeast. Glad I could inspire them once again.

I was honestly surprised with that Hoover came out and played the best year of his career, this last year. He is a much loved, hard worker, and player.

I can't see the Panthers starting a rookie at FB.

So I hope they find a way for him to contribute on special teams so he can remain on the team, and learn from Hoover.

When asked on draft day if there was room for the rookie and the established veteran on the 53-man roster, general manager Marty Hurney said there was “certainly” that possibility.

I'm hoping they'll both stay, but the article makes me second guess it.
