J.J. Nelson Wants To Be More Than Deep Threat For Cardinals

Jun 26, 2018 8:30 AM

The Arizona Cardinals brought in a handful of receivers this offseason as they look for a No. 2 alongside Larry Fitzgerald.

Nelson is hoping the additions give him a chance to show off more facets of his game. He has been labeled as a deep threat since the Cardinals drafted him in the fifth round in 2015.

"Coming in and being labeled a deep-ball guy," Nelson said, "I've been trying to put the total package together and I feel like with this offense, it can help me with that for sure."

Nelson has never caught more than 34 passes of played half the offensive snaps in any of his three seasons.
