Patrick Peterson told NBC Sports Radio that he believes J.J. Nelson will have a breakout year for the Arizona Cardinals.

"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."

Bruce Arians has praised the second-year receiver as well.

Nelson had 11 receptions for 299 yards and two touchdowns in 2015.

"Guys have great springs but once they get in front of a couple of fans and the crowd, the lights come on, you get a different player," Peterson said. "So J.J. is definitely one of them that had a great spring."
