G QUENTON NELSON, INDIANAPOLIS COLTS


Age at kickoff: 23 YEARS, 5 MONTHS, 18 DAYS



The former Notre Dame standout allowed just 23 pressures on 730 pass-blocking snaps in 2018, and his resulting pressure percentage of 3.4% ranked 12th among guards with at least 200 snaps last year. Nelson finished a superb rookie season with an overall grade of 74.3 and a pass-blocking grade of 81.9, good for sixth and 13th among guards last year, respectively. He’ll be a key cog in the ever-evolving Colts machine for years to come.

LB DARIUS LEONARD, INDIANAPOLIS COLTS


Age at kickoff: 24 YEARS, 1 MONTH, 10 DAYS



While Leonard’s raw tackle totals jumped off the page throughout his rookie season, they shouldn’t take away from an incredibly promising performance in all facets of the game. He earned overall grades north of 70.0 as a run defender (70.8), a tackler (85.4), pass rusher (73.4) and as a coverage defender (84.8). He’ll be a key component of Matt Eberflus’ defense moving forward.
