Julio Jones: Usain Bolt amazing but not football-ready

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- It sounded like wrestler Ric Flair was back in the building Monday when Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones was asked if he caught Usain Bolt's gold-medal performances at the Rio Olympics.

"Wooo ... wooo," Jones said, marveling at Bolt's blazing speed. "Bolt, he's amazing. Amazing what he can do out there as far as his speed and the length. (He's) 6-5, I think. Those guys, once he opens up, they really don't stand a chance, just how much ground he covers when he gets going. But he's very impressive.
