VIDEO: Colts' Quenton Nelson Confronts Bucs Punter Before Game After Getting Hit in Head With Ball
By Jerry Trotta
If there was ever a list of players in the NFL that we would never want to see engulfed with anger, Indianapolis Colts world-beating offensive lineman Quenton Nelson would a no-brainer inclusion. Prior to kickoff against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Tampa Bay punter Bradley Pinion made a regrettable mistake by drilling Nelson with a kick during warmups. Pinion subsequently saw his life flash before his eyes as the Notre Dame product walked over to confront him about the close encounter.
Quenton Nelson was hit in the head by a warm up punt from @Buccaneers punter Bradley Pinion - @BigQ56 had a few words with him and after another punt came close to Nelson, he punted the ball away.

Pretty good form from the lefty. @PatMcAfeeShow #ForTheBrand #Colts pic.twitter.com/2YnOua6KIP
Nelson punting the ball himself afterwards was a good statement too.
Witnessing a 6-5, 330-pound behemoth charging toward you is probably something Pinion will never want to see again in this lifetime.
It's safe to say that Nelson got his point across.
