Jordy Nelson, back in Wisconsin for a Jockey Being Family event over the weekend, said he and his family will be moving from Green Bay in about a week.

“It’s always nice to come back,” the former Green Bay Packers receiver said on Sunday at the Jockey Being Family Gala and Golf Classic at Grand Geneva Resort in Lake Geneva. “It’s always great to be in Wisconsin. It doesn’t honestly feel like I’ve left yet. It feels like I’ve been on a couple weeks’ vacation.”

Nelson, a second-round pick in 2008, ranks third in franchise history with 550 receptions, fifth with 7,848 receiving yards and second with 69 receiving touchdowns. After 10 seasons, he was released during the offseason and signed with the Oakland Raiders.

“It’s part of the business,” Nelson said. “You’ve seen it long enough in 10 years. Obviously, the goal would be to play in one organization forever but that’s very rare in this game. It’s not what was meant to be so we’re going to go to Oakland and see what we can do out there.”

The event included former Packers receiver Donald Driver, Packers running back Ty Montgomery and pro golfer Bubba Watson, among other celebrities. See video below by Tim Van Vooren of Fox 6 in Milwaukee below:

Driver, who spent his entire 14-year career with the Packers, said the release of Nelson does nothing to change Nelson’s legacy.

“I think you’re always going to be a Packer,” Driver said. “I don’t think that ever changes. The love stays, regardless of where they go. You have to do what’s best for your family. We all want to stay with one team. I was blessed to stay my entire career here. … When it’s all said and done, all those guys come back home and they’re always going to be a Packer.”

Nelson, who said he has nothing to prove after a subpar season of 53 catches for 482 yards and six touchdowns, agreed: “I don’t think you spend 10 years in one spot and just erase it from your life, especially the life that we’ve had and what we’ve grown here. That will always be the case. Obviously, we will move on into Oakland for a couple years and then, who knows, maybe to Vegas after that. You don’t ever know. You think you have a plan and then God tells you to take a left instead of a right.”

Jockey Being Family is an organization that helps adoptive families stay together forever. Nelson and his wife, Emily, have adopted two of their three children.

“What Jockey Being Family does, not only for helping adoptive families, but sustaining them, allowing them all to be successful -- they don't want to have any failed adoptions once an adoption has been made, so being able to bring some recognition to them, help raise some money and be a part of it is something that we truly believe in and enjoy. This is a great event that they put on,” Nelson said.

Nelson’s old team, the Packers, started organized team activities on Monday. Nelson’s new team, the Raiders, will start OTAs on Tuesday.
