Quenton Nelson named No. 2 guard by TouchdownWire

Flashback to January 5, 2019. Indianapolis Colts rookie left guard Quenton Nelson is lined up diagonally from Houston Texans defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. When the ball is snapped, Nelson wastes no time in absolutely bulldozing Clowney into the ground, making way for running back Marlon Mack to zip down the field. This block would make headlines for weeks to come, proving that Nelson is one of the most aggressive and powerful guards in the league.

Selected as the No. 6 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft out of Notre Dame, Nelson was the first guard taken that year.
