"David Nelson heard the stigma before he ever put on an NFL helmet. In fact, he heard about it before he ever suited up for the Gators. The theory has always been that Florida wide receivers don’t translate to the NFL.

Nelson signed as an undrafted free agent with the Buffalo Bills, and he has already seen techniques learned at Florida be successful against NFL defensive backs.
