m not sure why he keeps sneaking up on guys." The next day, Nelson went along with Rodgers’s ass essment. So did Jennings. The subsequent commotion , with people from ESPN analysts to Rush Limbaugh weighing in, embarrassed Nelson, and neither Rodge rs nor Jennings chose to revisit the issue this we ek. "He’s a hard worker, he practices well, he’s a pro fessional," Rodgers said. "And for some reason or another, he’s just not respected, maybe, as some o f our other pass-catching threats. "When you put a third or fourth corner on him, we like that matchup. He’s been consistently getting open and making the plays when they present themse lves." The rugged Nelson, a middle child of Kansas farmer s, goes into Sunday’s game against the Giants rank ed third in the N.F.L. with an average of 17.8 yar ds a catch. Among Packers receivers, only Jennings exceeds Nelson’s 44 catches for a career-high 782 yards. Nelson’s growing rapport with Rodgers, who is having one of those seasons where he can seemi ngly hit a bumblebee in the thorax from 50 yards, has played a big part in his production. Beginning with the penultimate regular-season game last year, Nelson caught three touchdown passes o f more than 80 yards in an eight-game stretch — th e only player to do so since the 1970 merger, acco rding to the Elias Sports Bureau. All this from a former college walk-on with a crew cut who bears a resemblance to Yankee outfielder Brett Gardner. Packers receivers coach Edgar Bennett, who is blac k, smiled at the suggestion of race but declined t o cite that with Nelson. "He’s a good player, bott om line," he said.
Instead, Bennett said Nelson benefitted from defen ses respecting the playmaking abilities of Jenning s and tight end Jermichael Finley. The 6-3, 217-po und Nelson often draws a smaller, less-skilled def ensive back, especially in multiple receiver sets. "With those two guys on the field, that certainly helps the situation," Bennett said of Jennings and Finley. "And I think he’s been able to continue t o improve and get better and take advantage of tho se one-on-one situations." Nelson’s family raised and bred cattle near Manhat tan, Kan., and as a child, he helped out with all the chores, even the much less glamorous ones. Whe n Packer wideouts Jennings, James Jones and Brett Swain visited the farm with their wives two summer s ago, Nelson demonstrated how to artificially ins eminate a cow. All three then took a turn at it. A quarterback and defensive back in high school, N elson walked on at Kansas State as a safety but sw itched to wide receiver as a sophomore. He led the team in receptions that season. When he was a sen ior, Nelson broke the team record with 122 catches and was one of three finalists for the Biletnikof f Award, which goes to the nation’s top receiver. "He killed us my last year at Texas," Finley said, referring to a 41-21 Wildcats upset of the Longho rns in 2007. Nelson caught 12 passes for 116 yards with one score, and returned a punt 89 yards for another touchdown. The Packers drafted him in the second round in 2008. "He’s been doing what he does since he got here, a nd he did it before he got here," Packers General Manager Ted Thompson said. "He runs. He gets open. He’s got quickness. I just think sometimes people tend to take him for granted." Why?
