Anthony Nelson
Defensive End

Iowa

Ed Hunt:  In a loaded defensive end class, how do you see yourself fitting in?

Anthony Nelson:  There’s a lot of good guys coming out and that’s just an opportunity at more competition and that’s what we love.  Just compete with these guys and see what everybody does.

Ed Hunt:  What can you tell me about your teammate Noah Fant?

Anthony Nelson:  The guy is a beast.  He is just a hardworking dude that has playmaking ability and he did a lot for us at Iowa and he’s going to do it well.

Ed Hunt:  What do you look for pre-snap?

Anthony Nelson:  Just anything.  The play based off formation.  The tendencies.  Stuff like that.  Just stuff you pick up from film studies.  Individual things.  For the Senior Bowl, we are just going to stick to the basics.

Ed Hunt:  What are your strengths?

Anthony Nelson:  I’m long, athletic, powerful hands, get off blocks and I can move around.

Ed Hunt:  What are you working on this week going into the pre-draft process?

Anthony Nelson:  I’m just working on improving my game overall.  Everything.  Just expanding my horizons as a pass rusher.
