![]() Jones still made a huge impact for the Falcons at 31 years old, even if a hamstring strain limited him to just nine games last season. Jones' 2020 season Most receiving yards per game Jones has recorded double-digit touchdowns in a season just once, and that was back in 2012. The only stain on Jones' resume has been the lack of touchdown catches in his career, as his 60 touchdown receptions are tied for 45th all-time through a player's first 10 seasons. Jones is also one of just 20 wide receivers with seven Pro Bowl selections and 11 wideouts with two First-Team All-Pro selections. Jones has led the NFL in receiving yards twice and receiving yards per game three times. ![]() Jones has averaged 100-plus yards per game in five different seasons (the most in NFL history) and his 95.5 career receiving yards per game is the highest for any player in league history (nine yards higher than second-place Calvin Johnson). Jones has also played just 135 games compared to the others on this list (Rice played 156, Holt 158, and Moss and Harrison 154). Only Holt and Marshall aren't in the Hall of Fame among retired players (Holt is a Hall of Fame finalist and Marshall isn't eligible for the Hall yet).

If Jones was traded based on the impact he's had since stepping onto an NFL field, the Titans fleeced the Falcons. Jones was traded by the Atlanta Falcons to the Tennessee Titans Sunday, a deal which the seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver should have been worth more than a 2022 second-round pick and a 2023 fourth-round pick (the Titans are also getting a 2023 sixth-round pick back from the Falcons). Julio Jones is making his case as one of the best wide receivers ever and based on his first 10 seasons, he's got a solid case.
