Jordy compared to Welker,........hands and skin color are the only common traits. They are nowhere near comparable at the WR position. If you feel Welker is the best comparison, then more power to ya'. But,...if you would get past the color of their skin and look at their playing style and physical traits, you'd see Nelson is a big WR who catches the ball and breaks tackles. Welker, on the other hand, catches the underneath pass and usually ends up diving at someones feet to gain a couple of extra yards. He can't outrun most DB's and he definitely can't overpower them or use a stiff-arm to break free. He is a possession receiver who works well in the NE offense (mainly because of the deep threat with Randy Moss attracting the safety). If I was going to compare Nelson to anybody,....I'd say he was more like Donald Driver. I'd compare him to TO, but Nelson has much better hands, runs sharper routes, and his character is head and shoulders above TO.
