David Nelson's out to show Bills he's a winner

"Buffalo Bills rookie receiver David Nelson caught only 46 passes in his career at the University of Florida. He uses some other numbers, however, to measure his college experience.

"A lot of people look at my numbers and say you didn't have that productive of a career," Nelson said. "I look at it the opposite. We won two national championships, two SEC championships. We won three BCS bowl games and won four bowl games overall while I was there. I was a 17-18 game starter for a two-time national champion, the No. 1 team in the nation. You can't ask for more than that."

The Bills think Nelson's size and speed numbers give him a chance to someday develop into a productive NFL receiver. He is 6-foot-5 and 217 pounds, and runs the 40-yard dash in 4.9 seconds, pretty good for a man that big. (By comparison, Bills former second-round pick James Hardy, 6-5 and 220, ran 4.45 coming out of college.)"

I wish him all the luck in the world, but Buffalo is going to be a tough team to really catch on with. Their QB situation is in shambles, their line is in shambles, and their front office probably isn't going to give their coaching staff much lee way in turning things around. Add to all of this the fact that he'll be facing some tough defenses 6 times a season and it's quite a steep hill he'll be climbing. None the less, I'll be looking for him on the stat sheet every week of this coming season.

One thing I've notice about David Nelson: I've been following him on Twitter, and what may not be known to many Gator fans is that he has a deep Christian faith, based on a lot of his tweets.

I imagine it was hard for Nelson to be known as a heavily Christian Gator when he shared a roster with Tim Tebow.
