Having become a star in an unglamorous position in the NFL, Quenton Nelson is officially the highest paid guard in the NFL, since he has just signed a 4-year contract extension as reported by Ian Rapoport of NFL media.
For a guard, the figures are dizzying: 80 million dollars, 60 of which are guaranteed. With an average sum of 20 million per year, he exceeds Brandon Scherff who comes in at 16.5 million.
A quadruple All Pro (3 times in the first team) and Pro Bowler, Nelson has established himself as one of the best in the league at his position since entering the league. His new mission for 2021 is clear: protect his new quarterback, Matt Ryan.
