J.J. Nelson again caught a long bomb during an OTA Tuesday, the type of play coach Bruce Arians said the second-year wide receiver had been making once or twice daily as the Cardinals work this offseason.
Afterward, as the media converged on Nelson, teammate John Brown smiled from a couple of locker stalls down. “Famous li’l dog,” Brown said with a grin.
Nelson shook it off. He isn’t exactly seeking attention. But it figures to be difficult not to draw some if he builds on the home-run plays that exemplified his rookie season. Nelson had just 11 catches last year, but they went for a whopping 27.
