Iowa football: Nelson to form tallest DE duo in league with Nassib

Heading into the 2019 NFL Draft, I thought there could be a chance former Iowa football player Anthony Nelson had to wait until day three to hear his name called. The defensive end class was simply so good at the top that it could cause a few of the second tier defensive ends to drop, and that’s exactly how it played out.

After things were said and done though, the 6’7” Iowa native will be heading to the beautiful city of Tampa Bay where he played his final collegiate football game in the 2019 Outback Bowl.
