He also holds the record for the longest home run hit in a regular season game in Verona High School history.
[1] In a game against Purdue, Fasano earned John Mackey National Tight End of the Week honors after catching eight passes for 155 yards (a school record).
[7] Prior to the 2006 NFL draft, Fasano visited with the Dallas Cowboys, New York Jets, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Washington Redskins.
[6] A shoulder injury bothered Fasano throughout training camp and preseason in 2007,[7] but he went on to appear in every one of the team's regular season games while starting six of them.
[6] Fasano caught his first NFL touchdown on a 26-yard pass from quarterback Tony Romo against the Green Bay Packers on November 29.
[6] During the 2007 season, Wade Phillips became the new Cowboys head coach and Jason Garrett was named the offensive coordinator.
On April 25, 2008, the Miami Dolphins agreed to acquire Fasano, along with linebacker Akin Ayodele, from the Cowboys in exchange for a fourth-round pick (100th overall) in the 2008 NFL draft.
[12] Dolphins executive vice president Bill Parcells, general manager Jeff Ireland, head coach Tony Sparano, and other assistants were with the Cowboys organization when Fasano was drafted in 2006.
[12] The pick sent to Dallas for Fasano was eventually traded to the Oakland Raiders, who used it to select cornerback Tyvon Branch.
[15][16] During training camp in August, Fasano switched from #81 to #80 after fellow tight end Aaron Halterman, who had previously worn #80, was waived/injured.
[17] A very durable player, that year he played in only nine games due to different injuries (knee, ankle, and concussion), registering 23 receptions for 200 yards and 3 touchdowns.
[18] Fasano had a good start to the 2014 season, but a knee contusion limited his play after week 10 and although he remained the starter, he was phased out of the offense in favor of Travis Kelce.
[19] In an episode of his podcast New Heights, Kelce credits Fasano as a mentor who modeled the professionalism and weekly routine needed to succeed in the league.
