Nelms was the best/toughest returner we have ever had. He did not have the luxury of playing on the talented teams that B Mitch played on. Nelms played on some mediocre redskin teams. He was the only pro bowl player a few years.
Nelms hardly ever fair caught a punt. He would refused
During Nelms prime, I remember teams punting out of bounds to avoid giving him the ball. He was instant offense.
Nelms was such a vicious hitter on special teams that the redskins used him on goal line Defense as a safety. He would hit so hard that the coaches took him off defense after he injured his shoulder. But while he played on D he was a feared player a la Sean Taylor.
