Jordy Nelson was everything you hope a Packers great will be: tough, humble, dependable, and brilliant.

From the clutch catches to the deep-ball magic to the way he carried himself with pure professionalism, Jordy gave Green Bay moments we will never forget. He wasn’t just one of the best to wear the uniform, he was one of the easiest to admire.

  4. I prefer the term white lightening.

    That over the shoulder fade pass from Rodgers was a thing of beauty.

  6. Not even Tae was the deep threat Jordy was. Closest thing I’ve seen since is Watson

  9. He was my first ever jersey.

    I will always say Rodgers to Nelson on a back shoulder fade was one of the most unstoppable combos in NFL history. While Adams is a better more talented WR, I think Rodgers and Nelson had chemistry that couldn’t be matched.

  10. Rodgers’ crow hop throw into a Jordy touchdown is what I see in my dreams. Every time I saw Rodgers crow hop I knew Jordy was open downfield.

  12. He was always White Lightning to me. Him and DD are my all time favorite receivers!

  16. I remember when A&W had Jordy burgers. If he scored a touchdown you could get a burger for a quarter or something like that. Those were the days

  18. Our team needs a wr1 like that so bad. No one on our current roaster comes close to this. I really wish we would spend some money on a top tier wr.

  21. It’s the throws that puts a cherry on top, some of the most exciting games. I think I took those days for granted and I miss the shit out of em!
