He finished 16th all-time in receiving yards in NFL history and 61st all-time in receiving touchdowns.

The five-time All-Pro and seven-time Pro Bowler was a member of Nick Saban's first signing class at Alabama, helping the Tide win its first national championship under Nick Saban in 2009. During his three-year Crimson Tide career, Julio Jones caught 179 passes for 2,653 yards and 15 touchdowns.

The Crimson Tide star was a five-star recruit from Foley High School in Foley, Alabama. In his lone Super Bowl appearance with the Falcons, Jones caught four passes for 87 yards despite the Falcons' loss to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 51.
