It's is difficult to miss the impact of the 6-foot-3, 220-pound, and-he’s-also-faster-than-you, Julio Jones in the Atlanta Falcons offense.
But in Sunday’s 34-27 win over the Denver Broncos, the Falcons’ third win in four games since Dan Quinn was fired as head coach and Raheem Morris was promoted to interim coach, it was Jones’ under-the-radar work with two far less heralded receivers that was fully on display.
“He’s an unbelievable mentor -- there’s no question about it -- who is about as generous with his time, teaching people, as any player I’ve been around," Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan said of Jones.
