Ryan says Julio Jones is ‘the premier wide receiver in the league’

The Atlanta Falcons are entering the new season with uncertainty a number of different positions, but quarterback and wide receiver aren’t among them.

Matt Ryan and Julio Jones will play together as a duo for the tenth-straight year in 2020. After Sunday’s training camp practice, Ryan spoke about what it means to build a long-term connection with such a special player.

“He is the most humble, hard-working superstar that there is, and the absolute best teammate you could ask for,” Ryan said of Jones.

The Falcons QB was unwavering in his declaration that Jones is the best receiver in the NFL. “To me, there’s no debate about it,” Ryan concluded.

Watch his full statement on Jones, as shared by ESPN’s Vaughn McClure below.
