Quenton Nelson Turning heads at Colts Camp
By Ryan Stano
The rookie has impressed so far at Colts training camp, having several local media members excited about what he has shown.
Quenton Nelson was the sixth overall pick in the NFL draft this past year. He was the Colts’ number one draft choice for a reason. He was a stud at Notre Dame and has continued that high level of play early on in his Colts career.
According to several reports, Nelson looks like a brick wall out there. Nelson has always been a strong guy who uses his leverage well, and he continues to show that so far at Colts training camp.
Some of the local media has noticed his strong play early on.

Most blockers are pushed back three or four yards. Quenton Nelson pushes his guy forward. It looks darn near impossible to move him backwards.
Most defensive linemen push the O lineman a few yards back on the pass rush during 1 on 1 drills. That doesn’t happen with Quenton Nelson. He stops guys at the line and doesn’t move a step backwards. He’s a wall. Impressive.

Nelson looking good so far is a big thing for the Colts. They need him to help along the offensive line immediately. He has already been penciled in as a starter, but this early performance has to get the team even more excited about what he is going to bring.

I will be at training camp tomorrow evening to see Nelson in person for the first time. He will be one of many players that I am very interested in watching.
