Quenton Nelson – Guard – Indianapolis Colts
ID card : 25 years – 1.96 cm – 150 kg
Draft : n ° 6 in the 1st round of the 2018 Draft – Notre Dame
CV : 3x Pro Bowl (2018-20), 3x First Team (2018-2020)
Why is he here?
By being selected in 6th position of the 2018 draft, Quenton Nelson marked the league by being the best drafted guard in history. The least we can say is that the bet is a winner for the Colts. In three seasons, Nelson became the top guard in the NFL, and he finished his first three seasons in the 1st All Pro team, proof of his unchallenged dominance.
As mobile as he is athletic, he is the perfect guard, a balance between power and explosiveness. In offensive patterns that require extraordinary mobility, he is the man for the job and there is no reason to believe that his performance will decline.
Who says offensive linemen aren’t spectacular? ????????????

What objective in 2021?
What more can Quenton Nelson do? Individually, he can further strengthen his status as a potential Hall of Famer by continuing to stack All-Pro selections. They are only 16 at the Hall of Fame position, he can become an indisputable successor.
Collectively, the Colts can become a serious contender for the title. Nelson will have to contribute, although the success of the franchise will depend more on Carson Wentz than on him. He will once again be a leader in this attack, and he will have the opportunity to show himself in the playoffs.
