Giants could bolster O
Quenton Nelson
INDIANAPOLIS â Notre Dame left guard  Quenton Nelson  might be Dave Gettlemanâs prototypical âhog molly.â
The Giants have to consider quarterbacks and Penn State running back Saquon Barkley with the No. 2 overall pick  but  Nelson  is a nasty and powerful interior blocker. And this week the Giants formally interviewed  Nelson   who grew up a Giants fan.
âIâm from central Jersey so I grew up a Giants fan watching Shaun OâHara  Chris Snee  all those guys â said  Nelson   a former standout at Red Bank Catholic High School in Red Bank  N.J. âThey had a great interior line and won a couple Super Bowls so that was awesome being a Giants fan.â
 Nelson  and Notre Dame left tackle Mike McGlinchey formed a powerful duo for the run-heavy Fighting Irish  but then  Nelsonâs  nasty and dominant performance in a Citrus Bowl win over LSU sent  his  star soaring even higher.  Nelson  then crushed the bench press on Thursday  pumping 225 pounds 35 times (last yearâs average for offensive guards was 26).

â (Nelson)  is a phenomenal player  phenomenal person â McGlinchey said of  his  teammate. â He  cares as much as anybody in the building  works as hard as anybody in the building and when  he  gets into the meeting room  when  he  steps across those white lines   he âs a different animal.â
 Nelson  said of potentially playing for the Giants or Jets  who hold the sixth overall pick: âIt definitely would be nice  but I canât control that. Whatever team I go to  itâs not going to matter the distance or how far I am  Iâm ready.â
