We’re through three weeks of the NFL regular season, and a few Beavers continue to shine. Here’s some notable highlights from former Oregon State players.
- Steven Nelson: Kansas City Chiefs - Cornerback
Nelson may be at the center of some conversations this week. Nelson only had four total tackles against the 49ers, but one of them was a monster hit on Jimmy Garoppolo. On that play, before Nelson’s hit, Garoppolo planted his knee awkwardly, and ended up tearing his ACL. Nelson’s hit was clean, but with the NFL struggling to balance quarterback safety and allowing defense players to make plays, this could prompt some discussion.
