He sucks. Every week teams come out with the game plan to throw at him because the whole league knows it. He isn't good all of a sudden because he decided not to get a bunch of penalties or get lit up by anyone last night.

You can’t get torched and have an above average PFF grade. It just doesn’t happen.

PFF is usually useless, but their corner grades are almost always spot on.

Nelson is PFF’s #48 corner. That doesn’t happen if you’re getting abused every week like you’re imagining he has been.

If he is only giving up about 40 yards a game how is this possible?
