Quenton Nelson has turned into one of the best offensive guards in the NFL early in his career as he’s been named an All-Pro in each of his first two seasons.
Almost two years ago it was Nelson who went viral online after being mic’d up when a block he threw while battling the Jacksonville Jaguars drew an incredible amount of attention to him, so much so in fact that he was fined after the NFL reviewed his block.
Well, the microphones were on Nelson again in week two when the Indianapolis Colts battled the Minnesota Vikings and although there isn’t a complete highlight block in this video, there is still plenty of quality play and some solid one-liners from the former Notre Dame star.

My favorite part is when he tells the defender “no you didn’t” after the Viking claimed to have been close to coming up with the strip.
Maybe it’s partly because of sound editing as well but it amazes me how with all the running and pushing he’s doing during the game, at no point in here does Nelson at all sound short of breath.
