The Facts: Cardinals CB Patrick Peterson told NBC Sports Radio on Wednesday he sees Nelson having a big 2016. "I believe J.J. Nelson's going to have a great year," Peterson said. "He had a great, great spring, showed some flashes. I can't wait to see what he's going to do here if he can keep that momentum going into summer camp because I've seen it happen a number of times."

Diehards Line:As NFL.com notes, it's not the first praise of Nelson we've heard this offseason. Bruce Arians has talked up the speedster as well. Nelson played well in a limited role last season, compiling 299 yards on just 11 receptions (27.2 yards per catch) and two touchdowns. The knock on Nelson is he's small at 5-10, 160 pounds. He's the perfect candidate to flash in padless spring practices. Not only must Nelson carry over his spring performances once the pads come on, he'll need to leap someone on the depth chart, or force Arians into four receiver sets often. The Cards boast one of the top receiver groups in the NFL. Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Floyd and John Brown are all ahead of Nelson in the pecking order. Floyd is on the last year of his contract and Fitzgerald enters the twilight of his career, so Nelson might be best viewed as a stash-and-hold Dynasty player. But Arizona's offense is certainly prolific enough to support multiple wideouts.
