INDIANAPOLIS -- Connor Nelson stood 6-2, weighed 240 and played linebacker at Villanova when he realized his days of beating up his little brother were finished. Sure, he was six years older, a college football player, a big, strong, tough kid. No matter. Nobody was beating up his little brother.
Quenton Nelson was built like a fridge. He was 14.
“Little” and Quenton Nelson never fit. Young as he was, he tagged along with Connor’s Pop Warner teams, slipped on pads and filled in wherever and whenever they let him.
