Nelson was far from the only Colts offensive lineman to get recognition on this All-Clutch team either, as his right guard counterpart, Mark Glowinski, is up next. Glowinski’s predecessor in the lineup, Matt Slauson, who suffered a season-ending back injury in Week 5, is PFF’s Second-Team right guard in this scenario:
“Joining his teammate from Indy, Glowinski locked down the top spot at right guard with an overall grade of 76.4 in the clutch. Similar to Nelson, he was dominant in the run game. His 76.4 run-blocking grade across 48 snaps came in tops among all qualifying right guards.”
Slauson earned the Colts’ starting right guard spot immediately once training camp began, locking it down until his unfortunate injury against the New England Patriots opened the door for Glowinski. Up to that time, Slauson was a solid contributor to the Colts’ line and an even better mentor to the Colts’ very young linemen. "Coach Slauson's" tutelage helped make Glowinski fit in so seamlessly to his spot.
