Denver Broncos: Final 2016-2017 NFL Season Award Predictions

Jordy Nelson: Comeback Player of the Year

Aaron Rodgers certainly deserves to be a candidate for Most Valuable Player, but it helped having one of the best wide receivers return to form in 2016. Jordy Nelson suffered a season-ending injury last year leaving the Green Bay Packers scrambling to find a number one. The play of Nelson is a breath of fresh air for a team that needed a boost to their offense in 2016.

Nelson returned to form joining the ranks of the top 10 in receiving yards and receptions. He also topped the touchdown category in the NFL with 14. It helps at wide receiver to play with Aaron Rodgers. But for Nelson, he continues to prove to be one of the best targets in the NFL. He was not a well sought after recruit coming into college and climbed the proverbial ladder to the NFL. Now, Nelson is a top-10 wide receiver in the NFL and deserves more credit.

The quickness and body control to adjust to a ball from Rodgers still takes incredible skill. For Nelson he makes it seem effortless. I am sure you ask Rodgers which target he trusts in his offense, he will tell you Nelson is a top the list followed by Davante Adams and Randall Cobb.
