colts are 3.7 a carry and 6 sacks. he's still tough as nails but the offense isn't helping.
Nelson is still the tone-setter. The power is obvious, but the more important trait now may be the standard he sets for every young lineman around him. Eight years and 129 starts without missing a start is absurd durability for an interior player, and the Colts build their physical identity around it.
Strengths: Elite strength, leverage, finishing temperament, durability and leadership. He can displace defenders in the run game and anchors the room with a work ethic teammates repeatedly praise.
Weaknesses: At 30, the question is preservation rather than talent; the Colts must manage a veteran's accumulated physical load. Quick interior counters can always challenge even dominant power blockers if their feet get heavy.
