Quenton Nelson (G-ND) Rd #1 Pick #6

[VeveJones007]

Two stories about Nelson I heard leading up to the draft:

1) Chubb was doing pre-draft workouts at the same place as Nelson and McGlinchey. They started talking about the NC State-ND game from last year. Nelson told Chubb that he noticed early in the game that State would stunt anytime a LB lined up in a certain position. Nelson communicated that to the coaches and the line. Chubb said it effectively took away half of their defensive game plan.

2) Nelson was doing some pre-draft interviews alongside Roquan Smith and another LB. When Nelson left the room, Smith and the other defender gave each other a look and starting talking about how in awe they were of how huge Nelson is.
