That is his reputation among Bills fans, and it all may be true to some extent, but it would never make him more than a 4th WR at best. Nelson was most effective in the 2011 season playing from the hybrid role, usually with three true WRs on the field. In this Gailey formation, Nelson was difficult to cover, often got mismatches due to his size and the need for the primnary DBs to cover other receivers. He was basically an undersized TE. Once Nelson was forced into the slot due to injuries, his production went way down. He started 2012 as the designated slot guy, but was hurt so early we will never know if he would have been effective. I suspect not. Maybe he will prove me wrong in Cleveland but I would not bet on it, despite his good hands and route running. The Bills needed an upgrade. I am not sure if Dickerson is it, but I do see potential because of his superior speed and bulk.
