Interesting that a guy who has slightly "slightly above average" athleticism regularly finds himself behind NFL defenses.

slightly above average for a WR. Which is good enough to do that.

6'2" 4.51 40 at 217lbs

his vert was 31" and his broad jump was average.


I love Jordy Nelson, he's just not a "freak", by definition. If you call him a freak, then there are a lot of freaks in the NFL.

He works well with his QB, that's a bit rare.

Dude has very strong body and you can see it when he has the ball running through tackles

Yea he's like a RB. He has a longer torso and shorter, thick legs that make him hard to tackle.

I think a case can be made for him being a top 5 WR in the league. He's that good.

Right now, at this very moment, yes you can make a case. He leads the NFL in rec yards

I know that. However, you won't hear him mentioned with Megatron, Dez, Julio, Marshall, AJ and Demaryius, even Antonio Brown.

Jordy is super underrated.
