J.J. Nelson brings veteran speed and big-play DNA to UAB
J.J. Nelson’s UAB profile is built on explosiveness: he was a home-run threat in college, finishing his Blazers career with 116 receptions, 2,273 receiving yards, and 20 touchdowns, while averaging 19.6 yards per catch in his UAB career. His calling card is pure speed and vertical juice, the kind that stretches defenses and changes game plans even when the box score is quiet. The key question is usage and health, because his value is highest when he’s clean, confident, and attacking space.
