Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones is the last guy that will care about being the third-ranked receiver on the NFL Network’s countdown of the top 100 players.
Still, it seems as if the media is constantly looking for someone else to declare as the NFL’s top wideout. Whether it’s Dez Bryant, Odell Beckham Jr., Antonio Brown or Michael Thomas, Jones always seems to get brushed aside for the more dramatic players at his position.
The writers over at Pro Football Focus tend to look past those non-football factors and just focus on production, which unsurprisingly shows Jones ranked as the league’s highest-graded receiver over the last decade in the playoffs.
His postseason grade of 91.7 is over four points higher than any other WR, including Julian Edelman (83.4), Davante Adams (85.0) and Doug Baldwin (84.7) since 2010.
Jones has played in eight career playoff games, racking up 61 catches, 834 receiving yards and six touchdowns since 2010.
There are some great receivers in this league but until No. 11 hangs up his cleats, he’s the best in the game.
