Coach55 Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 http://collegefootball.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1053376 For a player that may go late in the draft, this guy could be interesting in multiple ways. They are saying LT, but at 6'8" 315 with basketball type athleticism, he could be a Pete Metzelaars type TE. He could end up being a monster blocker, but if his height and speed are there, he would be a HUGE target. Think about the following - run a spread offense with Nelson (6'5") and Owens (6'2") (assuming he returns, otherwise Hardy (6'5") or Johnson (6'2")) as your wide receivers, move Evans to the slot, put Veldheer (6'8") at TE and Jackson in the backfield. This would give you effectively 6 real offensive lineman for running downs and some really big targets to throw at. Plus, with Nelson's versatility, you could go double tight in a hurry up. I think with this height, you could sacrifice a little of your receiving speed and really do some damage, especially in the short-medium passing game.
