Julio Jones quietly breaking records that matter

According to the Atlanta Falcons, Julio Jones achieved 12 thousand passing yards in just 125 career games while it took Jerry Rice 142 games to achieve the same mark; that is a full season quicker.

Not only is the Julio Jones the fastest to get the 12 thousand-yard mark, but he is also the active leader in most 100-yard receiving games and has the fourth most all-time. Remember, this is the same receiver that the NFL left off their Top 10 receivers of all-time list earlier this week.

With his 166 yards today against the Jags, he moved past Hall of Famer receiver Michael Irvin for 27th all-time.
