"Just live and learn and take it from there," Nelson said Sunday. "It’s a blessing for me. It’s a second chance of playing this game I love to play. When they said I got traded, I’m still playing football. I’m still doing the same thing I love. I’m coming to a defense that’s been doing very well the past few years. I’m just coming in to learn and help out anyway I can."

"At this point I’m just going to come in and do what I’m asked to do," Nelson said. "Whether it’s special teams or helping out the defense, when my number’s called I’m going to show up and play football."
