I always thought Nelson wasnt a bad player, but hes showing he's not a #1 defensive back. Seemed like he was a very good fill in player, that could play either corner or the slot, but couldnt be depended on to be any type of "shut down" type player, on a regular basis. His lack of speed, is probably his biggest problem, and could be a little short in height. He doesnt lack toughness or desire, its just hard for him to make up for his shortcomings. He holds entirely too much, but probably to make up for his lack of speed. Unfortunately, he's the best we have available, so I might complain, but have to support his play!
