Is there really anything that needs to be said about Julio Jones. The Atlanta Falcons burnt their entire 2011 draft and part of their 2012 draft to trade up and get a player that doesn’t come around very often. Jones has been everything the Falcons could ever ask for in his four-year career and then some.

Jones led the league in receiving yards in 2015 with 1,871 which is the second-most receiving yards in a single season ever behind Calvin Johnson’s 1,964. Jones has 6,201 yards in 65 games good enough for an average of 95.1 yards per game in his career. That is one of top 5 highest totals in a receivers first four seasons with a minimum of 5,000 receiving yards.

Jones is a beast. An animal. A monster. He’s lit. He’s incredible. He’s Julioooooooooo Jones and nobody can take that away from him. He’s arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL and is a receiver like none other. His rare size to speed ratio makes him unique and can take over a game at any given moment.

Any other team in the NFL would foam at the mouth at a chance to sign him to their team but I have some bad news for them. He isn’t going anywhere anytime soon so deal with it.
