As day two of the Raiders training camp kicked off on Saturday, Jordy Nelson found himself under the bright sun in beautiful Napa Valley. Quite the change of scenery from the often frigid conditions of Green Bay, where Nelson spent the first nine seasons of his NFL career. But while plenty has changed in the past few months for the veteran, the 33-year-old’s athleticism has shown no signs of slowing down.
His release from the Packers and and subsequent signing on in Oakland on a two-year, $15 million contract, there were questions as to whether Nelson still had the speed to remain an impact player on offense.
