Before the season starts I want to pay a brief homage to his greatness, Air Jordy.
Only seven teams had six passing TD’s of 40+ yards last year. Air Jordy caught seven – by himself.
A. 9/14/14 vs. Jets (80 yards)
Burned one Jet for the catch, made another fall down in pursuit. This score won the game.
B. 10/2/14 vs. Vikings (66 yards)
Nelson says these routes take “a lot of practice, a lot of trust” with QB Aaron Rodgers.
C. 10/19/14 vs. Panthers (59 yards)
Nelson drew man coverage, so he beelined for the end zone; A-Rod hit him in stride.
D. 11/9/14 vs. Bears (73 yards)
How does he feel after loooong catch-and-sprints into the end zone? “Kind of tired.”
E. 11/9/14 vs. Bears (40 yards)
This one came just two minutes and 40 seconds later and iced the game for Green Bay.
F. 11/30/14 vs. Patriots (45 yards)
Roasted the Super Bowl champs – and G.O.A.T. corner Darrelle Revis – for this long score.
G. 12/8/14 vs. Falcons (60 yards)
“If [Rodgers] trusts me to be on the same page, we’ll make plays.” He does, and they do.
