J.J Nelson

This man must have something on the Cardinals. Seriously though, his speed must be that good. The only thing he proved in preseason was that he still can’t catch a football.

Oh sure, he will catch some here and there, it’s not a total waste. However he spends more of his time wondering why another ball slipped through his hands than running down the field progressing a Cardinals drive.

There is no doubt that that when Nelson does catch a ball, he will be off to the races. Get him in an open field and good luck to anyone trying to chase him. More times than not, the defender just ends up looking silly.

Nelson is going to need to step it up. If he wasn’t already on his last chance before, he certainly is now. Let’s hope we get the Nelson that can catch and run with the football in 2018.
