[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 591280"] There's more. He runs good routes and has the complete route tree at his disposal. He's consistently on the same page as Rodgers, no small feat. Though he hasn't worked as much out of the slot this year as in past seasons, he made his bones at that position. He can run out of the x, y or z positions, short or long, with effectiveness. He never stops working and finds the open spot when Rodgers is extending plays. He's a long strider with top-of-the-league long speed which is chronically underrated. CBs biting on the first move won't stay with him when he turns it up the field. He makes hay one-on-one in space. How many of his long plays involve cutting across the middle of the field spinning a DB out of the play with the long speed kicking in? At the same time, he uses his size to get off the first tackler in close quarters. Despite the dropped pass against Buffalo and fairly high drop rates reported earlier in his career in the 5-10% range, his drops have declined to an outstanding 2 - 3% the past two seasons according to some sources. While drop stats are unofficial and those rates are all over the map among the various sources given that as few as 2 or 3 varying "interpretations" over the course of a season can have a significant impact, I think the eye test says Nelson is a good hands receiver at this point. While one could likely find a few receivers better than Nelson in each area of the game, you'd be hard to find one with more complete tool box. [/QUOTE]
