Nelson has been a key depth piece in Tampa Bay since being drafted in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He has been a steady, reliable backup over the years, including a career-high 5.5 sacks in 2022 and a season-saving forced fumble to beat the Carolina Panthers in overtime in 2023.
But his impact was never more pronounced than it was in a Week 8 victory over the New Orleans Saints.
