What Defensive lineman Anthony Nelson Brings to the Bucs

Anthony Nelson is a former composite three-star recruit who played three years at Iowa after redshirting his freshman year. Nelson racked up 119 tackles, including 59 solo and 31 for a loss, along with 23 sacks. He had a whopping 9.5 sacks last season as a junior. He also batted 7 balls and forced four fumbles.

The thing that sticks out the most about Nelson is his size. What an absolute unit:

His frame is just massive. 6’7, 270 pounds, 34 7/8 inch arms and a pterodactylish wingspan at 83 inches - just under seven feet. He could add even more weight to his frame if he wanted to.
