Jordy Nelson set the Green Bay Packers' single-season receiving yards record in 2014 with 1,519 yards and was named NFL Comeback Player of the Year as a Packer in 2016. In 10 seasons with the Packers, he ranked third in franchise history in receptions with 550, fifth in receiving yards with 7,848, second in touchdown receptions with 69, and third in 100-yard receiving games with 25. He is the only player in Green Bay Packers history to record three seasons with 13-plus touchdown receptions, doing so in 2011, 2014, and 2016. He also had at least 1,250-plus receiving yards and 13-plus touchdown catches in the same season three times in his career, in 2011, 2014, and 2016, the fourth-most such seasons in NFL history behind Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, and Terrell Owens. Nelson led the Packers with nine receptions for 140 yards and a touchdown in the Super Bowl XLV victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, becoming just the fourth receiver in Super Bowl history with nine-plus receptions for at least 140 yards and a touchdown.
