Originally the 6th overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft by Indianapolis, Nelson has been named an NFL Pro Bowler in each of his first 7 seasons—as well as a 4x NFL All-Pro.
Here, he earned PFF honors at starting left guard, after another standout season in which he earned a +81.3 overall grade during all 17 starts for the Colts.
With a +81.7 run blocking grade, Nelson helped pave the way for star workhorse Jonathan Taylor eclipsing 1,400 yards and 10 rushing touchdowns respectively. While in pass protection, Nelson surrendered just 3.0 sacks and 20 QB pressures during 608 total pass blocking snaps in the 2024 campaign.
While each Colts starting offensive lineman surrounding him missed time this past season, Big Q remained the offensive line’s one consistent catalyst.
The perennial Pro Bowler remains an interior anchor for Indianapolis on a unit that despite a number of injuries along it, continues to be one of the NFL’s better units.
