| | Player Profile | Jordy Nelson - Wide Receiver
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 220 lbs.
College: Kansas State
|
| Strengths | Draft board riser with a good combo of size (6’3”, 220) and speed (4.51 officially, but he plays faster in pads); has shown consistent, strong hands; great athlete, starred in basketball and track and is a converted QB; one of those guys to whom everything athletic seems easy; has improved route running and precision with his feet; plays physical and does better against press/man coverage than zone; showed the ability to produce in the clutch.
|
| Weaknesses | Doesn't have real quick acceleration, but once he’s moving Nelson is very hard to catch; great instinctive runner after the catch, not afraid to bowl over a safety; has not always shown great separation or burst; has a tendency to telegraph his routes and moves; not much of a blocker for a guy his size; has fared well against NFL corners (ask Aqib Talib!) but hasn’t really stood out until the 07 season.
