Julio Jones ranks as NFL's best receiver on two types of pass routes

Pro Football Focus has judged the effectiveness of every wide receiver during the 2016 season on each of the pass routes commonly used in the NFL. It shouldn't come as a surprise that the Atlanta Falcons' Julio Jones ranked at the top a couple of times.

After all, the former Foley High School and Alabama standout earned first-team All-Pro recognition for the second straight season as he helped the Falcons win the NFC championship and go to the Super Bowl.

Jones was the best receiver in the NFL on in/out routes, PFF said.
