Were you expecting anyone other than Julio Jones? Jones is the best wide receiver in the NFC South without question. His raw talent gives him the edge other the other players and will continue to make highlight after highlight for the Atlanta Falcons.

Jones finished third in the league in 2015 with 1,593 yards and caught fewer passes than both the men on the list above him. In fact, Antonio Brown caught 25 more balls than Jones for just 105 more yards. With that said, tell me Jones wouldn’t of shattered Brown’s numbers with 25 more catches in 2014.

In 49 career games, Jones has 4,330 career yards and 26 touchdowns. His stats speak for themselves and speed and power dominate the others.
