    Not sure if you guys were able to watch it. Such a heartwarming story.

    David Nelson and his brother are helping kids in Haiti. They opened an orphanage in Haiti and saved 9 kids from being sold. He was in tears when talking about them.

    Kudos to him and his brother. So happy that he plays for the Jets.

    Nelson is a good guy and has ideal size, but we desperately need an upgrade.

    Watching his footwork as he gets in and out of his breaks is painful. He's slow, stumbling, and seldom ready to catch the ball. Ball security is certainly a problem as well. Dude, you're 6'5", 220 - HOLD ONTO THE FRICKEN" BALL!

    Nelson is 6-5 but doesn't play to his size. He plays like he's 5-9, scratch that Kerley is 5-9, he plays like he's 5-8. Buffalo played him in the strictly in the slot which I always thought weird. Who ever heard of a 6-5 slot WR? Couldn't figure out if they were being innovative or if they were just clueless. They cut him and he's now our #2, what does that say about us:(

    Haha. No intent to be offensive. I think it is great that he does that work. It just does not entitle him to suffocate our offense. Big but too soft.
