PHILADELPHIA -- Tom Nelson no longer thinks of himself as a safety, and he doesn't classify himself as a wide receiver. In his mind, he's just a football player, and a persistent one at that.
As a defensive back, Nelson was cut in the final week of August for the last three seasons. The last time he suited up for a game was 2011.
The question has never been how much he wants to play in the NFL. It's how can he stick with a team.
