Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 502084">That would be average for an NFL wide receiver. Jones is about the same; on the field Nelson looks a tad faster in 4th. gear. These guys are pretty good football players. They're quick out of their breaks, run good routes and exploit weaker match-ups. Jones in particular is a good blocker. Despite the fact they're both strong guys for WRs, we've seem them struggle at times against press coverage. Both have drop histories. I'm skeptical Jones has fully resolved those issues...I still saw little bobbles, two hand pulls to the body, and a few body catches last season. He had a low yard-after-catch number. Part of that is making 1/4 of his catches near the goal line or in the end zone; part is slowing down his upfield move a bit to secure the ball first. Their key virtues is they have those quick breaks and they get where Rodgers expects them to be. That may not sound like much, but it 's plenty. I'm disinclined to make them out to be more than they are.</blockquote>
