FIU’s Eric Nelson brings length, vertical upside and growing 2025 production
In the 2025 season, Eric Nelson logged 8 catches for 125 yards and a touchdown in 12 games for FIU, and his 6'4" frame gives the Panthers a true outside target with size-based matchup value.[2][3][5] He entered college with a reputation as a productive high-school receiver who showed TD ability, and the main appeal is his upside as a vertical threat rather than a high-volume possession option.[1] For a team needing a long, athletic receiver who can stretch coverage and develop into a complementary weapon, he is a worthwhile fit.[1][2][5]
