Julio Jones is a likely Hall of Famer. Michael Thomas set the single-season reception record last year. They're both incredible wide receivers.
Jones is slightly better.
Sure, Thomas was voted the fifth-best player and top receiver by his peers in the NFL Network's Top 100 countdown. Jones finished just 11th in the balloting and third among receivers, with DeAndre Hopkins eighth overall and second among receivers. Not to quarrel with the ultra-scientific Top 100 balloting procedure—players scribbling a bunch of names at their lockers like they are picking the high school homecoming court—but the countdown got things wrong.
