For the first time since 2014, Jordy Nelson is participating in the Packers’ OTAs. That was Nelson’s only Pro Bowl season, which is why he – and the Packers – have high hopes for what’s in store for him in 2017. “It’s all about sharpening your skills,” coach Mike McCarthy told Ryan Wood of the...

My feeling is Jordy will not come close to the stats of the 2014 season and I have no problem with that. To see Adams take the next step we would expect 1200 yards from him, We want Cobb to return to form in the slot, there is another 1000-1200 yards, We want Bennett to perform as he has so there is another 700 yards, and we want Jordy to return to 2014, well that is 1500 yards. Well that would total in the range of around 4400 yards between just 4 receiving options. Then we are still going to get production from Monty out of the backfield, kendricks, and the rest of the receivers so we would be looking at about a 5000 yard season for passing.

While I would love to see it, I don't think it is very realistic.

I think Nelson will surprise a lot of people this year.
He did really well last year, and now has another off season after the blown knee behind him.

Sorry but 2 or 3 more series a game of vanilla plays and no game planning even at full contact is not causing the team to be slow out of the gate, especially for vets.

Quite a few players say practices are more important than pre-season games because during practice they actually practice the things they will use. And in pre-season no one tips their hand on schemes or what not.

Jordy will have a down season due to a great tight end group and a breakout season by Jeff Janis.
