INDIANAPOLIS — For eight seasons, there has been one constant for the Colts, one player who always shows up in the postseason honors.
Left guard Quenton Nelson was named a second-team All-Pro on Saturday, the sixth time he’s been named to an All-Pro team in his eight seasons in the NFL as he continues a Hall of Fame trajectory. Nelson was named a first team All-Pro in each of his first three seasons, and he’s been named to the second team in 2021, 2024 and 2025.

Nelson led the Indianapolis offense by playing 1,038 snaps, or 96.5% of the snaps overall, and he did not give up a single sack, according to Sports Info Solutions.
The linchpin of the offensive line since he was drafted in 2018, Nelson has also made eight consecutive Pro Bowls, becoming only the second offensive lineman in NFL history to reach the Pro Bowl in his first eight seasons, joining Cleveland’s Joe Thomas.
“It’s really, really impressive,” Indianapolis head coach Shane Steichen said. “Shoot, it’s hard to play at that level for one year in this league, for a bunch of guys, and for him to go out just day in, day out, attack his work, attack his role, working, getting better. He’s been really, really good for us, really, really consistent for us for a whole bunch of years.”
