Nelson was (6’7/318) a fixture on the Wisconsin line for the last four years, making 50 starts and recording 3,179 snaps while receiving All-Big Ten honors twice. His play crested at left tackle last year allowing just one sack and 9 total pressures in 369 pass reps for a commendable 82.2 pass block grade. He projects as an asset in the run game, specifically on outside zone plays where he grades out positively 21.3% of the time. Nelson is balanced enough to sustain blocks and has adequate fundamentals. However, opposing defenders are frequently able to take advantage of his below average movement traits and soft anchor to create havoc plays. Nelson will join an Atlanta offensive line graded by PFF as last year’s ninth best pass blocking unit.
