No. 3 Notre Dame football first-round draft pick of the last 25 years: Quenton Nelson
2018 NFL Draft: Round 1, Pick 6
Indianapolis Colts, 2018–present
Quenton Nelson started to struggle during the 2022 season, but for the four years prior, the Holmdel, New Jersey product was a 4x All-Pro offensive guard who looked like a home run with the No. 6 draft pick from 2018. Luckily, Nelson has every intention of getting better as he told The Athletic’s Zak Keefer.
More from Quenton: "It’s got me excited for this offseason, and I'm switching up my approach a lot."

"Everything’s fixable. I plan to have my best year next year. It starts with the offseason. I truly believe I can do that."
“It’s got me excited for this offseason, and I’m switching up my approach a lot,” Nelson said of his struggles. “Everything’s fixable. I plan to have my best year next year. It starts with the offseason. I truly believe I can do that.”
Even if Nelson never gets back to his pre-2022 form, he has already established himself as one of the great Notre Dame football OL at the NFL level.
