Jordy Nelson retired from the game of football last week. Many people were sad to see him leave the game because he is a fan favorite across the board. Packer Nation loves him. He did an interview with Dan Patrick yesterday where they talked about a variety of things. At one point, Patrick asked him about a return if Aaron Rodgers asked him in late July and Nelson responded ‘Hard to say no’ meaning the door is still open for a return if he and the Packers would want something like that. The question is very tongue-in-cheek though.

People were fired up by the comment because they love nostalgia and the past. Ross Uglem of CheeseheadTV did a great job of outlining how Nelson did not have that bad of a season in Oakland. It was enough to make me reconsider being an anti-Jordy stan. I still think fans are a bit overboard about this whole thing. Some think he should have his number retired at Lambeau which if he did, we’re making of mockery of those who are up there currently. Additionally, I would still worry about the young guys potential if Nelson came back to the team. Sure, the leadership angle is there, but he takes away from vital snaps from those dudes. In case you’re wondering, Rodgers is a fan of this idea.

We shall see if this becomes a story again in July.
