There were many times during Julio Jones’ career when you watched him early on in a game and said, “Oh, this is looking like a Julio game.” He was going to produce over 100 receiving yards. There would be multiple 25+ yard receptions, whether it’s off a go route exploding past a cornerback or breaking tackles across the field.
The camera will show the opposing defensive backs and coaching staff looking dejected at some point after another first-down reception. They will realize that all the preparation that went into containing the electrifying wide receiver wasn’t enough.
Jones made several opponents look hopeless in his biggest games.
