Julio Jones declines to take No. 11 from Tennessee Titans' A.J. Brown

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Wide receiver A.J. Brown offered his No. 11 to Julio Jones, but the Tennessee Titans' newly acquired playmaker declined.

Brown has worn No. 11 since his rookie year after originally sporting No.18 during rookie minicamp.

"#11 until I retire . I tried to give it up and he wouldn't take it . Respect Handshake," he tweeted Tuesday.

It's no surprise that Brown would offer his number to Jones given how much he lobbied to get the Titans to trade for the 10-year veteran.
