For the Falcons, that was and always will be Jones. For a long-suffering team that blew a 28-3 Super Bowl lead in front of the entire world in less than two quarters, you might wonder who in the world could make even that generational disaster somewhat palatable. Jones did. He really did.

Going beyond the Falcons history books, Julio Jones ends his career 16th all time in receiving yards, behind Henry Ellard and in front of Torry Holt. Both Ellard and Holt have been in Hall of Fame conversation for the last few years. You can expect Jones to join those Hall of Fame discussions in a few years, as it should.
