This guy sounds like he dominated and has a chance to make it at the NFL level. Coach once said he wants all tackles on the O-line because tackles are the best Offensive lineman. Didn't see a thread on this guy so started one.

Hope he's a hidden gem and not Storm Norton 2.0. Welcome to the team, Ryan!

I still don't know about that Harbaugh quote. I know that he said it, I'm not doubting you. The circumstances it occurred were very specifically when he was getting asked about Pipkins and what the Chargers thought about him and would do with him. It was at that point he said "heck i'd like OTs at every OL position". I still don't know if he was blowing smoke up Trey's butt or he really means it.

6’6” 325. Big Boy!

Coaches want an upgrade over Boseman and Johnson.

Yeah, I definitely think they see him as a potential Guard and interior O-line is this teams biggest concern in my view.

Sure. UFL stars are always a slam dunk.

Apparently he is a former Guard who had a major breakout last year when he was moved to Tackle. I expect he is competing with Pip.

He's practicing as 3rd string LT.

Given his odds of starting on an NFL team, i'm guessing he would gladly accept Storm's career.

Nelson's physique is the spitting image of Storm's.

Wrong Nelson--we need to trade for Quinton Nelson.
