2) ) Quenton Nelson, G, Indianapolis Colts


When the Colts were doing their 2007 Patriots impression during the first half of 2025, Nelson was playing every bit as well as anybody else on their offense. He was fun to watch all season as the driver of their run game, with coach Shane Steichen using Nelson as a bludgeoning force at the point of attack and as a puller to take out linebackers and defensive backs on gap runs. And 330-pound linemen aren't supposed to have Nelson's athleticism, especially as they approach 30 and have more than 8,000 NFL snaps on their bodies.

Nelson and Joe Thuney were the two starting guards who didn't allow a single sack all season. They each allowed just four quick pressures to opposing pass rushers. Nelson was one-on-one against defenders slightly more often, and while Thuney is such a consummate pro and played a huge role in Chicago's resurgent run game, Nelson is just the tiniest bit more spectacular given his ability to get on the edge.
