Recently the idea of kicking guard Quenton Nelson out to tackle was rehashed for the umpteenth time. It’s not a new or novel concept. DraftWire.com proposed it back in late February citing a Bengals source saying Nelson is so talented he could play all five positions. At the time, it was dismissed as foolish. That hasn’t changed.
Let’s be clear from the jump, just because a player has the ability to play all five positions along the offensive line, it doesn’t mean they should.
Nelson was drafted as a left guard. He gave up two sacks.
