7. 2011 NFL Draft: Julio Jones, Atlanta Falcons, Round 1, Pick 6

Do you know those segments where analysts piece together the perfect player by using attributes of various superstars? Well, when discussing the perfect wide receiver, I don’t know how you don’t just say Julio Jones and call it a day.

He is the poster child for the “designed in a lab” expression and has every bit of elite talent to pair with his incredible physical ability.

Jones was one of the most hyped wide receivers to ever come out of the NFL Draft and has delivered in more ways than the Atlanta Falcons could have ever imagined when they took him sixth overall in 2011.

In nine seasons in the league, Jones has seven 1,000+ yard campaigns and has two spots inside of the top 10 single-season receiving yards list in NFL history.

Jones now has over 12,000 yards in his career and is the fastest receiver to ever hit that mark, so he is on pace to break a lot more records down the line.

When it’s all said and done, we could hear Julio Jones being discussed with the likes of Randy Moss and Jerry Rice if he keeps playing at this unprecedented level.
