INDIANAPOLIS — Quenton Nelson learned early in life that when you are the youngest of 39 nephews and nieces, you can’t be afraid to throw your weight around.
“It definitely shaped me, just getting picked on by being, I guess, the little guy in the family,” he said. “That shaped me into the person and player I am today.”
Luckily for Nelson, the so-called “little guy” who weighed nearly 11 pounds at birth and checked in at 6-foot-5, 325 pounds when he arrived at the NFL scouting combine this week, he’s always had the requisite physical tools to shove his way into the mix.
