GREEN BAY — Jordy Nelson is happily retired.
He, his wife Emily and their children are enjoying their post-NFL life, and even though plenty of talented wide receivers have played past Nelson’s current age of 35 – Arizona’s Larry Fitzgerald is still going strong despite turning 37 before the 2020 season kicks off – Nelson hasn’t thought for a second about a comeback.
“We’re not coming back. There’s no doubt about that. We’re done,” the former Green Bay Packers star wideout said during an interview on ESPN Wisconsin last week. “I’ve always laughed and talked to Emily about it — when you first get in the NFL and you’re performing very well, you’re underpaid; and then when you sign a big contract, you become overpaid.
