Iowa football: Anthony Nelson has solid, yet unspectacular Senior Bowl game

Saturday’s Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama was the conclusion of the top postseason all-star event of the 2018-2019 college football season. As we have said throughout the week, this week is a fantastic opportunity for guys like the Iowa football team’s Anthony Nelson to improve upon their draft stock.

Coming into this week, the defensive end from the Iowa football team was thought to have a high floor, but a relatively low ceiling. At 6’6”, 270 pounds Nelson has proven to be an adept pass rusher when using power rush moves, but has limited bend and burst, which is a large reason why his ceiling is lower than some of the other day one and day two guys.
