Quenton Nelson has arguably the most decorated career of an offensive lineman in Indianapolis Colts history.
FOX Sports analyst Bucky Brooks believes another accolade could be coming in 2026.
Brooks included Nelson at guard on his preseason "All-22" dream team and predicted the veteran will return to first-team All-Pro status this season. He pointed to Nelson's renewed dominance and the tone he continues to set for Indianapolis' running game.
"Nelson is back to mashing defenders onto the turf with his nasty disposition," Brooks wrote.
Nelson earned second-team Associated Press All-Pro honors in 2025, marking the sixth All-Pro selection of his eight-year career. He also made his eighth consecutive Pro Bowl, becoming the first player in Colts history to earn a Pro Bowl nod in each of his first eight seasons.
The 30-year-old started all 17 games last season and finished fourth among starting guards in Pro Football Focus' overall grade and run-blocking grade.
A first-team selection would be Nelson's first since 2020, when he completed a run of three straight first-team All-Pro seasons to begin his career.
