My favorite Reggie Nelson hit was the one against Owen Daniels.





(Domata Peko absolutely steamrolling Troy Polamalu is probably my favorite hit of all time. Lol)

He's a player that doesn't have eye-popping numbers.  Even so, he did a lot to keep this defense from getting beaten deep vs some very good quarterbacks.

Should be linked to the right time. He starts on the far hash 27 yard line and intercepts the ball at the 7-8 on the other sideline.
