Hearing the name “Jordy Nelson” puts a huge smile on my face. How can you not like this guy?
One of the best!
Easy. I'm a Bears fan 😭
Jennings,Driver,Jones,Nelson,Finley,Cobb probably the deepest WR Corp in history of the NFL on one team
Crazy part is jermichael Finley had the most talent out of all of them but damn injuries
Am I the only Packer fan that thinks that the team shouldn't have drafted Cobb and instead focused on reloading and retooling the defense after the Super Bowl?
@@ericsmith6823 Jermichael had great talent but not a great focus or work ethic. Until the injury. Could have been a great one.
Green Bay was unfairly stacked in receivers then.
@@Wolf_3125 Cobb had lots of smarts and was very versatile. Defense was still pretty good. No one could have foreseen the loss of Nick Collins.
That was a major blow.
@@davem5333 True, but not resigning Clullen Jenkins, plus his replacement, Mike Neal being a bust, hurt the pass rush and run defense. And losing Nick Collins was also a major blow.
Dam who else misses jordy? I’m a Seahawks fan but he’s one of my favorite players ever :(
That's awesome 😎👍
@@gjones4207 yesssir, he’s a legend 👍🏼🤝
Same bro
@@gjones4207 same I’m a falcons fan so I like watching great wr’s. I respected Nelson
Took Wilson and DK in my fantasy league yesterday. Hopefully they can ball out again
Best sideline catch wide receivers I’ve ever seen. Marvin Harrison and Jordy Nelson.
I mean I always thought he was mega underrated. I mean I think he was a top 5 WR of the 2010s.
Calvin Johnson, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown, DeAndre Hopkins and Jordy Nelson in my opinion.
I mean what he did in 2011 was amazing. 15 TDS in only 13 starts. That’s incredible.
And those deep post routes were just deadly.
Truly one of my favorite players of all time.
Great video Throwback.
No way I’m taking him over prime dez Bryant
Prime Dez was very good as well. Jordy and Dez are actually very similar in stats. Jordy has more receptions and yards but Dez has more TDs.
Really, you could put their best season stats right next to each other and they’re just about the same. Both were excellent at their best but I just prefer Jordy cause of the more humble nature.
Jordy was a freaking beast..
You can tell Davante Adams learned a few of his tricks in their time together.
The least talked about WR, who made Aaron Rodgers’s job a whole lot easier every week
@Keith Cousins Nice😂
Yupp. Look at some of those catches. They haven't had anybody with hands like that since him. Adams is great but he doesn't have the hands like Nelson or that ability to turn 10 into 60
@@-Always_Right- people dont understand jordy was nicer
Yes sir
@@neveroutofbalance365 I think Davante is more complete but Jordy was definitely more explosive and could deliver more volume numbers
I'll never forget that catch against the patriots right before half time. We miss you in Wisconsin Jordy.
The first jersey I ever bought. What a legend.
Same here! I think mine is/was cursed, though. The year I moved I forgot my Jordy jersey at my buddy's house that was the year he tore his ACL in the preseason. The one game I didn't wear it is the game where he broke/fractured his ribs.
Not only a great WR, but a great human as well.
Growing up in Wisconsin, I couldn’t have asked for a better role model than Jordy
He was legit an all pro receiver from 2012 to 2016. And he probably could have kept playing but retired early
The reason why he did is because he didnt want to have to keep moving
@Keith Cousins k
@@unpricedhydra3492 that and injuries
you can’t leave out his 2011 season, he had 15 touchdowns that year.. 😳
Jordy Nelson, Huge star at K-State and an underrated star in the NFL
Better k state career him or Michael bishop?
@@ericpackers1700 Well, position wise, For Quarterback is Michael Bishop. For Receiver, Probably Jordy Nelson
People forget in college he put up such good numbers he made josh freeman look like a first round pick lmao
I like that Nelson highlighted Rodgers' mental game as the asset that sets him apart from other QBs. People talk about his arm talent, which is incredible no doubt, but people don't speak enough on how intelligent of a passer that Aaron Rodgers is.
This is great to watch, wish GB didn’t cut him so early in his career, he probably had another 5 years left in him with Rodgers. He’s someone you can watch and appreciate no matter what team you root for.
Nelson is highly underrated
Hall of fame almost type of underrated
God bless 🙏
He was for real a great player. Wish there were more guys like him who weren’t so god damn cocky
Jordy Nelson epitomizes greatness, humility, and god-given talent. It pissed me off bad when they let him go.
He was one of the most underrated WR in NFL and highly respected too. Sad to see him retire early.
He retired to running a massive ranch in Kansas. I think his retirement job is more difficult than actually being in the NFL
Just another down to earth good farm kid. Great role model on and off the field for many. He is my all time favorite player. I am a chiefs fan but When Jordy went to the packers I became a packers fan when it did not interfere with my chiefs. Lol. I watched Jordy run at state track in 2003 when I went for my sister when they were in highschool. An old man in the stands said watch this white boy from riley county run named Jordy nelson. Hes going to be something great. He ran a 10.63 in 100 and 200 21.64 he was a beast then. He holds the 3a state records.
My dad just played in a golf tournament with him just yesterday, he said he was really cool and nice and is also putting together a charity softball tournament in August
So underrated glad i was able to watch him play growing up. He deserved way more pro bowl selections. Jordy will always be one of my favorite WRs ever
I’m a K-Stater and watched him in college. Then in the NFL. I know it’s a business, but I feel he got somewhat disrespected by Green Bay when they released him. I ran into some Green Bay fans when I was elk hunting and they were upset the Packers let him go. He’s one of the best.
Man, I love this guy
nelson was my favorite and still is and always will be
One of my favorite receivers of all-time! It sucks he wasn't able to stay here in Green Bay and have a really long career. Such an underrated receiver and a really great guy.
And the packers gave him a big middle finger at the end of his career..i firmly believe he had a few 1000 yard seasons left
What u mean middle finger? Why did he not go to another team.
Look, I loved Jordy Nelson too, but you can't blame them for making a business decision. He did not play well when Aaron got hurt.
@@introvertedbro5365 he did unfortunately
That is true. Even when Rodgers was hurt in 2013, Flynn never really went to Nelson. It was more Cobb, Jones and Quarless. But he was electric before his injury. I miss him.
@@gretchenortner they could have kept him around as a veteran presence…he literally said he would play for free damn near to stay in GB….plus he was Rodgers favorite target and close friend…now look at where things have gotten…it is a business but like Rodgers said you need to remember who makes the business run
Jordy Nelson may be the most underrated wide receiver ever to play in NFL. He made Aaron Roger's look good even when he had an off day.
WHITE CHOCOLATE!! - Ike Taylor, former CB for Steelers
If he didn't have a few dropped passes that he made up for He could of been super bowl mvp that year ! Good memories
No he’s just white
When I hear white chocolate my mind goes straight to Jason Williams from. Kings and other teams. 2nd best player from West virginia. Behind Jerry west of course.
Not a green bey fan but I was a pretty solid Jordy Nelson fan.
They did him so dirty in the end such a legend!! God bless you and the fam!
Legend, I'm a Seahawks fan but Jordy Nelson is a legend. Class act never drama always touchdowns. Great receiver
Facts
Hard not to be a fan of Jordy. He did it all with style and class. A far cry from a lot of the selfish clowns in today’s NFL.
Like a better Wes Welker
@@ericpackers1700 welker >>
YESS, this man is a LEGEND, mad love Jordy we miss you!
I really enjoyed this. This guy was a gamer. Loved his work ethic and his cool demeanor. Thanks for highlighting him.
Honestly wish more guys were like him in professional sports nowadays.
Underrated Legend!
man you dont realize how much you miss a player and the moments until they are gone. what a team and group of guys
I knew the Packers' front office was fucked years before they let Nelson go, I just didn't think they were that fucked up.
Prob why aaron is mad
@@keikun145 *Definitely part of the reason
They let the defense collapse after the Super Bowl. That's was the first sign.
Teams let franchise legends go all the time
The man who got me into football right here! Jordy Nelson was so much fun to watch, and had great chemistry with Aaron Rodgers. I miss him still, and was really upset when they let him go. He at least seems to be doing well now outside of football, but still. Love this man and wish him the best, and will continue to wear his home and away jerseys for packer games!
Jordy was dope; definitely a household name.
One of my favorite receivers of all time.
I'm not a guy who has "heroes," but I always liked Jordy. He seemed humble and down to earth, unlike so many athletes.
Jordy Nelson is my favorite player of all time
Gotta love a guy like Jordy Nelson who beats the odds through hard work and determination.
This guy was GREAT, not good GREAT! GIVE him his props! Jordy was the MAN!
Favorite player growing up. I had his jersey and everything. He will always be my favorite player of all time. Go Pack Go
Him and Donald Driver my favorite WR from the Packers in my 29 years on Earth.
Gosh, after the Packers won the big dance in Feb 2011, you just knew that there was so much to look forward to for the next ten years. We are blessed as Packer fans to have a fantastic team for most of the last 30 years
Air Jordy!! Miss watching this guy on Sundays.
Underrated? Remarkably Unbelievable.
Thanks for the memories.
Detroit.
Jordy’s super bowl performance was just as good or even better than edelman’s Super Bowl mvp. Shows just how good and underrated he was.
One of my favorite players growing up straight dawg 🤦🏾♂️
Round 2 seems to be the sweet spot for the Packers drafting WRs: Greg Jennings, Jordy, Cobb, Davante
People always clamoring for a 1st rd WR. I want another Rd 2 WR instead
Just waiting for us to draft a decent mlb for once…
@@mikemarc92 A.J Hawk in 2006. Are you not satisfied?
@@mikemarc92 right on man. I been saying the same thing for years.
We need a playmaker at ILB.
Its time to spend some draft capital on ILB, get us a guy.
@@MosHighChadro exactly man
Statistically that's where all teams have the most success in the draft, the second round.
Great guy! Super talented!!!
This young man is surely missed. God’s blessings to you and your family 🏈❤️
I've met him and ate at his parents restaurant. Really Awesome guy!
Any CB who assumed he was slow, would pay for it.
Dude was a beast. Fast and strong as hell. Plus as tall as most TEs.
great story! 👍👍👊👊
Jordy Nelson is very underrated when it comes to sideline awareness and catches
My favorite Jordy play wasn’t even a reception. Lacy was rumbling down the field on a long run and Nelson streaked across from off-camera, on a wide shot no less, passed Eddie and blocked for him. Holy smokes he was fast and a great person, to boot. I miss those days.
J.Nelson wit the sideline catches tho
I got the Raiders jersey of him. Even though he didn’t do much, it’s cool to have such a great player in the collection.
I wasn’t a Green Bay fan, but miss old Jordy Nelson💪🏿💪🏿
Love you Jordy come back for the Last Chance with Cobb
Right when Jordy Nelson said Aaron Rodgers was looking for matchups against the Steelers i automatically knew it was William Gay.
One of the reason I became a Packers fan!!!!!
He may not be a hall of famer but he’s a Super Bowl winner and pro bowler, and that’s still super bad ass.
Nobody realizes how amazing he was
Just a great all-around player. Great speed, fantastic hands and footwork , smart...and just a nice guy. Midwest nice!
One the best receivers to play. It's sad to see the Packers today not having the talented receivers they once had. The deep threat with Jordy coupled with Rodgers' accuracy was a deadly weapon against defenses.
Good interviewee, u don’t get a hundred “uhhhs” or “you knows” when he talks.
Still don't understand WHY you let this man go Aaron said it we needed these players
The streets will never forget Jordy Nelson. That catch on the sideline against the Giants in the playoffs🔥🔥
Love Jordy. That is my dude
JORDY! JORDY! JORDY!
Love Jordy , small town boy .
What a credit to the Green Bay organization! Class, ability and a humbleness that is to be admired. THANK YOU 87!!!
Loved watching this guy
Seems like a great dude and was a great player. I am a Falcons fan and every time we played Green Bay he torched us. Mad respect.
From 2011-2016 Jordy was one of the most explosive WR in the game
Could play on the outside, the slot could run all 9 routes of the route tree, clutch on the sidelines
Guess because he was white he wasn’t given that big praise
Probably my favorite reciever. So fun to watch.
I'm a Bear fan & White Chocolate was a beast...seem like this dude was catching 70 yard bombs on us every game!!!
John "the Diesel" Riggins was another Kansas farm boy who was a college sprinting star and multiple times 1000.yard rusher.
Packers fans miss you
Before Cooper Kupp We Had Jordy Nelson 🥶
Favorite receiver of all time
Love that man!
I miss this man so much especially with all the bullshit going down right now he was just a calm cool presence
White lightning ⚡is what they called him. I still remember when that 2010 packers team, came down to Atlanta and destroyed my falcons
I ain't gone front... Wasn't a fan of the packers but boy it was fun to watch them with Rogers and that core of wide receivers lol
This guy always came through for me in fantasy
More fun to watch than Rocket Ismail @ ND. Fan since the 60's Jordy's my favorite Packer WR
I knew this guy was going to be good out of collage
Madden said, Jordy was ," Larry Byrd Fast", good!! Never knew what that meant exactly!😀
So grateful I got to grow up yelling JORDYYYY each week the packers played. Most underrated WR of all time.
No one could stop the back shoulder throw to Jordy from Rodgers
best receiver we had. and gb gave him the shaft! hired some shoe shine boys
I don’t like Jordy he made my life a living hell as a bears fan now I respect the hell out of him he just broke my heart one to many times
Respect. As I lifetime Packer fan you knew the opposing teams players you hate the most were the ones you feared and respected the most.
@@jankelsey9738 Aside from Suh.
It's a shame GB has had terrible management. They could have had more championships if Aaron had his way about things...
Rodgers is capable of winning rings
🙏🏾✝️💚(from a NY Giants fan) much respect for this man
