Nielsen is a physical prospect thats flying under the radar in the Tooele area. Shows flexibility to bend at the LOS. Plays with initial quickness to read and react. Strength at the POA to control drive blocks. As a pass rusher, he wins with power to push the pocket to get to the QB. Nielsen has the size and movement to play the along the defensive interior in a 3-4 or 4-3 defensive type scheme.
