When it comes to the best play-maker in the NFC South, Julio Jones is that guy. You can find Jones picking apart defenses as a member of the Atlanta Falcons and has most likely already picked apart your favorite team’s defense if you aren’t a Falcons fan. Jones finished third in the league in receiving yards with 1,593 in 2014 and might have led the entire NFL if not for a missed game late in the season.

In 2014, Jones set the Lambeau field record with 243 yards receiving, and absolutely blew away Patrick Peterson mid-way though the year as well. Jones isn’t a big talker like Dez Bryant. He likes to do his talking out on the football field, and when healthy is one of the top three or four wide receivers in the league without question. Jones is likely to re-sign with the Falcons as early as this year and will be around for a long time.
