I must have missed all those pancake blocks that we made last year, so seeing Nelson just drill the shit out of someone or stonewall them like a brick wall gives me fuzzies. I’m not saying that he’s an all-pro now, but after one game he sure as hell hasn’t done a damn thing to make me think that he can’t be one. Watching him develop (and hopefully bring the line along with him) should be one of the high points of all us Freaks this year, regardless of where he was picked ...... it's gonna be fun.

(7 YEARS LATER)


Quentin Nelson has been one of the most consistent and reliable offensive lineman in Colts franchise history (1953 - 2025) ...... in 8 seasons he has made 8 straight Pro Bowls, and has missed a grand total of 4 games (he has played in 129 out of 133 games between the 2018 and 2025 seasons.)
