Nicholson is a limited athlete, who lacks the playing speed and athleticism to make plays outside of a small area -- he will not be able to catch NFL ball carriers in pursuit.
Nicholson is a very well-built middle linebacker, but he is only slightly over 6-0, which is a concern -- it is important to note that on film, he clearly looks taller than his measured height.
He is not explosive when it comes to his burst to full speed and closing on ball carriers, but he does show explosiveness as a tackler on inside runs when he snaps his hips and drives up into the ball carrier.

 Colts’ Harrison poised to join 1,000-catch club - NFL - MSNBC.com
Harrison’s old-school approach, where personal accomplishments take a back seat to winning and professionalism, have helped him string together 11 remarkable NFL seasons with the Indianapolis Colts and put him on the brink of joining the NFL’s exclusive 1,000-catch club.
He needs five catches at Jacksonville to join Jerry Rice, Tim Brown and Cris Carter as the only four members.
It would be easy for Harrison to point out some of his other milestones like the single-season record for receptions (143) that he shattered in 2002, being part of the most productive quarterback-receiver tandem ever or the fact he’s nearing 1,000 at a faster rate than anyone else.
