Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones has been so consistent over his nine NFL seasons that his greatness occasionally gets taken for granted. At 31 years old, Jones is still the league’s most physical big-play weapon.
Over the past three seasons, no other receiver has come close to Jones in receptions of 15 yards or more. In fact, he’s recorded 30 more than anyone else since 2017, per Pro Football Focus‘ below tweet:
In 2019, Jones had 99 catches for 1,394 yards (14.1 yards per reception), the sixth consecutive season in which he’s gone over the 1,300-yard mark.
Playing in a division full of talented receivers, including Chris Godwin, Michael Thomas and Mike Evans, it can be easy to overlook Jones’ steady production.
When you look at the numbers, though, it’s clear the former Alabama star isn’t ready to give up his mantle as the NFC South’s top receiver just yet.
