Former teammates and DL bookends at Iowa. Approximately the same size (Nelson a couple inches taller, Epenesa 5 pounds heavier). Similar career stats through 3 seasons each with the Hawkeyes, with A.J. slightly ahead as a PR, and Nelson slightly ahead as a run stopper. But given that Anthony was acquired as a fourth round pick last season, and Epenesa is rated as a mid first rounder, the shocking thing is that Nelson won every single Combine event between the two players. Substantially ahead in 40 time. Plus he blew the roof off the Wonderlic. I think Epenesa will drop to near the end of the first round after his Combine, but still Anthony Nelson has to be a steal on the third day of the draft.
