Young offensive linemen often name Quenton Nelson when asked to name players they look up to or to name players whose films they watch as they try to improve their own game.
But it's not every day you hear an NBA player mention watching Nelson's tape to help improve their game (Even as a joke).
It seems the hometown connection between the Colts and the Indiana Pacers led to that happening, with star PG Tyrese Haliburton joking that he's watching Nelson's film ahead of the team's 2nd round playoff matchup with the New York Knicks.
In addition to making that joke to the media, Haliburton decided to take it a step further. He was seen repping Nelson's jersey as the team was getting on the plane for their flight to New York for game one of the Pacers vs. Knicks series, which begins on Monday at Madison Square Garden.
