Offensive Player of the Year: OL Quenton Nelson

Even in a down year for the offense, there were a few players that could be worthy of this title. When it came down to it, the choice was between Nelson and running back Marlon Mack—who enjoyed a career season leading the backfield.

However, Nelson’s combination of consistency and production gives him the edge. It isn’t often that a left guard is held in such high regard, but Nelson was the team’s best player on that side of the ball. His improvements in pass protection coupled with his nastiness in the run game had a major impact on the offense.

Nelson earned his second consecutive Pro Bowl nod and is likely to be voted an All-Pro for the second time in as many years as well. There are still some ways for Nelson to improve, but he was the offense’s best asset in 2019.
