First of several great clips on Nelson. I love this kid's game. He's really good at reducing space in the red zone. Watch him prepare for the two-way go, then play the fade and squeeze the receiver (DJ Moore) toward the sideline. Nelson doesn't panic -- and this is something that I'll bring up more in other clips, because he might be the most comfortable corner in this class at playing out of phase and still getting back into the play -- and disrupts the catch point as well as shoving the receiver out of bounds. He does this again against Michigan (I'll post that later), showing great sideline awareness.
Again with the head's up use of the sideline against the fade route:
