Shaunfield and Nelson highlight Pro Day

Picasso Nelson Jr.

When you think of the prototypical hybrid defensive back, Picasso Nelson Jr. fits the bill. Nelson is a player that that can play box safety, line up at linebacker and cover the best team’s receiver in the process. Nelson measures 5 feet 10 inches and 195 pounds, so the size is there as well to play those positions.

During his time at Southern Miss, Nelson has arguably been one of the best defensive players on the field when healthy.

The defensive back racked up a total of 201 total tackles and five interceptions in his time as a Golden Eagle while also earning a Preseason All-Conference USA selection.
