Julio Jones 'Still That Dude,' per AFC Exec: 'This Is Not an A.J. Green Situation'

Julio Jones might be coming off one of the worst years of his career, but those around the league still think the new Tennessee Titans receiver is one of the best in the NFL.

"This is not an A.J. Green situation where the play clearly declined," an AFC executive said, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "He's still that dude."

Jones ranked fifth among receivers in a poll of league executives, coaches, scouts and players, with at least one vote still naming him the NFL's top wideout.

This came despite finishing with 51 catches for 771 yards and three touchdowns, each total the second-fewest of his career.
