The Facts:
Packers HC Mike McCarthy fully admits he has a thing for big receivers. Nelson, at 6-3 and 220 pounds, is a perfect fit for McCarthy's system. "Football has become a big man's game," McCarthy said. The coach also was impressed with Nelson's play-making ability. "We put emphasis on yards after catch," McCarthy explained. "That has become an important element to our offense. His talents match our philosophy."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Nelson is more than capable of racking up yards after the catch. He had more than 1,600 receiving yards at Kansas State last season and scored 11 touchdowns. He also gained 264 yards on just five punt returns -- two for touchdowns -- for a 52.8 average. McCarthy likes what he's seen in initial workouts. "He's picked up our system very well," McCarthy said of Jordan. "He's a smart kid, a good kid. We think he's going to fit in very well here." We do to.
