The 33-year old wide receiver is calling it a career according to reports. Nelson, the former Packers and Raiders pass catcher was just recently released by Oakland after they brought in WR Tyrell Williams. Nelson was definitely on the backside of his career, but during the peak of his prime was one of the most prolific wide receivers in the league.
After more than a decade in the NFL, my brother, former #Packers & #Raiders WR @JordyRNelson is calling it a career. He’s stepping away from the game with more than 8,500 yards…72+ TD’s and as a SB Champion!
