1. Julio Jones a former Falcon is the only lock on this list to make it to the Hall-of-Fame

If you told me Julio Jones was retiring tomorrow without thinking about it he is a Hall-of-Fame player. No questions and no debates he has accomplished enough in this League and carried himself with more professionalism than his former organization often deserved.

Whether it is the elevator catch to take down the undefeated Carolina Panthers or the toe-tapping sideline grab in the Super Bowl Jones has a career of iconic moments and amazing catches.

For ten seasons now we have heard the debates of who the best receiver in the League is? In every debate, no matter who else was talked about the only constant was Julio Jones was in the conversation.

He has been the best receiver for the majority of the last decade and has proven all he needs to in this league. Sure, winning in the playoffs again would help his legacy but his legacy in the NFL and in Atlanta is secure no matter how the next chapter goes in Tennesee

Jones is headed to Canton whenever he decides to call it a career.
