[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 517529"] I'd give you a partial agree on that, but put a finer point on it. There are plenty of receivers in the league with that kind of athleticism. Several of those kinds of catches are made around the league on any given Sunday. What makes Nelson exceptional is his "make rate" on those kinds of throws...it borders on uncanny. There is a tendency to overstate his physicality because of his physical dimensions and the fact he's a pretty decent downfield blocker. But he still has some trouble against physical corners...Seattle, SF, et. al. I think Jones is more adept against press coverage with that powerful second-through-fourth gears. That said, Nelson is one of the best in the league between the hash and the sidelines, short and long. Hutson was FAST. Legend has it he was hand-timed at 9.7 in the 100 yd. dash. He might have been 4.3 in the 40, maybe cracking the 4.2's. The speed of the DBs he played against in that era gave him an insane advantage. From the few old clips available, he's wide open deep. He's one of the few of the old timers who easily project to the modern game with a few updates in technique. Very different cat from Nelson [/QUOTE]
