veteran Baylor edge setter with steady production and a lunch-pail motor
In the 2006 season, Baylor’s Geoff Nelson started every game at defensive end and finished with 36 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, and a team-high 2.5 sacks, showing reliable edge pressure and snap-to-snap durability. He looks like a classic fit for a system that values discipline and toughness: active enough to impact the backfield, sturdy enough to hold up against the run, and experienced enough to give a defense a stable presence. For a team needing a dependable DE rather than a flash-only rusher, he checks a lot of boxes.
