Bill Belichick almost prevented Julio Jones from becoming an Atlanta Falcons great

We can all agree that Julio Jones has been one of, if not THE, biggest sports star in Atlanta since being drafted in 2011. However, if Thomas Dimitroff would’ve listened to his former boss, Bill Belichick, the Falcons would’ve wound up with a John Baldwin instead of Julio Jones.

Thomas Dimitroff made a guest appearance one Stick to Football and discussed a conversation he had with Bill Belichick leading up the draft.

Dimitroff starts off by stating how the team needed a weapon that was the capabilities to be explosive and take the top off the defense.
