Nelson carried the football 80 times for 770 yards and 11 touchdowns during the 2025 season. His highlight reel is loaded with explosive plays.

There’s a few plays where he takes the handoff, hits the inside, and clears the second level almost untouched instantly. His acceleration is a major strength. You don’t really have to wonder about Nelson’s top-end speed, it’s clearly visible on several plays. He routinely outruns defenders who think they have an angle on him. Once he turns that corner on the perimeter, it’s a problem.

I like the way he takes advantage of the solid blocks he gets from his wide receivers downfield. It’s almost as if Nelson is thinking one or two moves ahead when he’s in space. He’s what is called an efficient plant-and-go runner, no dancing at all.

Nelson can be a versatile weapon at the next level. One of his first plays on his highlights is of him running a kickoff back for 70-plus yards.

Overall, he’s an exciting back to watch.
