With the Raiders adding perennial All-Pro WR Antonio Brown and an ascending receiver in Tyrell Williams the team has given Derek Carr what he needs to get back to form.

Nelson was clocked running a 4.28 40 yard dash at the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine. A pick-up that would make Al Davis proud, Nelson has legitimate wheels to make corners play off or keep a safety on top.
