Is Julio Jones The Next Great One?
Sure looks like it.
If you’re going to be a marquee wide receiver in the National Football League, you need an ego big enough to blanket the field. Seriously, no happy-to-be-here, just-part-of-the-team nonsense allowed. You’re the accelerator in a six-figure sports car, not the cupholder. And right from the opening bell of 2012, Jones warmed to the role. When Yahoo! Sports’ Michael Silver asked Jones how defenses would play him and the rest of the Falcons, he had a classic answer:
“You know what I would do? Just pack up my stuff and go home,” Jones laughed. “I mean, who are you gonna double? Tony? Roddy? Me? That’s six people. What are you gonna do?”
