Quintorris Lopez "Julio" Jones Jr.[2] (/ˈhuːlioʊ/; born February 8, 1989)[3] is an American football wide receiver for the Tennessee Titans of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Alabama, and in 2009, helped lead the Crimson Tide to an undefeated 14–0 season, including a victory in the 2010 BCS National Championship Game. He was drafted 6th overall by the Atlanta Falcons in the 2011 NFL Draft.

With the Falcons, Jones has been invited to seven Pro Bowls, was a first-team All-Pro selection in 2015 and 2016 after leading the league in receiving yards and receptions. Jones was also named second-team All-Pro three times, in 2017, in 2018 after leading the league in receiving yards, and in 2019. Since entering the league, Jones has amassed more receiving yards than any other player.[4]

Jones has a rare combination of size (6 ft 3 in and 220 lbs), speed (40-yard dash in 4.39 seconds), catching ability, strength, leaping ability, and body control, which has drawn frequent comparisons to Calvin Johnson.[5][6] On November 11, 2018, Jones became the fastest player in NFL history to reach 10,000 career receiving yards.[7] On September 15, 2019, Jones became the all-time career receiving yards leader for the Falcons.[8] On October 5, 2020, Jones became the all-time career receptions leader for the Falcons.[9] His career average of 93.8 receiving yards per game is the highest in NFL history.[10] In 2021, Jones was traded to the Titans after reported disgruntlement with Atlanta's new front office.[11]

High school career

Jones attended Foley High School in Foley, Alabama, where he played wide receiver and defensive end for the Lions high school football team.[12] During his high school career, Jones quickly achieved recognition. In his junior year, he caught 75 passes for 1,306 yards and had 16 touchdowns. People referred to him as "Waffle House" because he was always open.[13] He participated in the high school Under Armour All-America Game[14] and ran a 4.55-second 40-yard dash at the Baton Rouge Nike camp in May 2007,[15] where he also recorded an event-best 38.6-inch (980 mm) vertical jump.

In addition to football, Jones was a starter on the basketball team and was a standout track athlete. He was the state champion in the long jump (24–2 or 7.40m) and triple jump (47–5 or 14.52m) in both 2006 and 2007. He was named the 2006–07 Gatorade T&F Athlete of the Year in the state of Alabama.[16] He was the state champion in the high jump (6–6 or 1.98m) during the 2007 indoor season. He was named All-county selection in 2005, 2006, and 2007. He won Mr. Alabama Track & Field athlete of the year in 2007. He also competed as a sprinter in 2008, and posted a personal-best time of 11.13 seconds in the 100-meter dash at the Class 6A Section 1 Meet, where he placed second.[17]

Considered a five-star recruit by Rivals.com,[18] Jones was listed as the No. 1 wide receiver in the nation in 2008.[19]

On February 6, 2008, Jones committed to the Alabama Crimson Tide on National Signing Day, announcing his decision live on ESPNU.[20]

College career

2008 season

In the first of three years on the Crimson Tide, Jones quickly became an impact player and a fan favorite under head coach Nick Saban. Jones became the first true freshman wide receiver ever to start in a season opener for the Crimson Tide,[21] as he started against the Clemson Tigers in the 2008 Chick-fil-A College Kickoff. In the game, Jones caught four passes for 28 yards and a touchdown in a 34–10 rout.[22] In a 41–30 win over the #3 ranked Georgia Bulldogs, Jones had a breakout performance as he caught five passes for 94 yards, including a 22-yard touchdown reception from John Parker Wilson.[23][24] His first 100-yard receiving game occurred in the annual rivalry game versus Tennessee, as Jones had six receptions for 103 yards en route to a 29–9 victory.[25] However, two weeks later versus #16 LSU, Jones topped his previous performance with seven catches for 128 yards.[26] His 23-yard reception in overtime set up a game-winning touchdown by John Parker Wilson,[27] giving Alabama a 27–21 victory.[28] In the 2008 SEC Championship Game, Jones caught five passes for 124 yards versus a talented Florida Gators secondary.[29] In the first quarter, Jones caught a 64-yard pass which set up the Crimson Tide's first score of the game.[30] However, #1 Alabama fell to #2 Florida by a score of 31–20, giving the Crimson Tide their first loss of the year.[31] Jones finished his freshman season leading all receivers on the Crimson Tide with 58 receptions for 924 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns.[32][33]

On December 8, the Southeastern Conference announced the annual All-SEC first team, second team, and individual awards, as voted by the Associated Press. Jones was named to the second team All-SEC, SEC Freshman of the Year,[34] and the SEC Coaches' All-Freshman Team.[35] Jones finished the regular season with 58 receptions, 924 yards, and four touchdowns.[36] His performance in only his freshman year drew comparisons to NFL greats. ESPN.com reported, "This guy is a unique, rare prospect for the wide receiver position with his supreme blend of size, power, speed and agility. He reminds us of a high school version of Michael Irvin, but at this stage Jones is more explosive and faster."[37] An NFL scout put Jones in the same category as Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald, who at the time was the second-leading receiver in the NFL.[38]

2009 season

Preceding the 2009 football season, Jones was voted to the All-SEC Coaches' Football Team (first team), one of only four players to be voted such unanimously along with Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, Tennessee safety Eric Berry, and LSU offensive lineman Ciron Black.[39]

Jones in a game against Arkansas in 2010

Jones and Alabama again opened their season at the Georgia Dome, this time facing #7 Virginia Tech for the 2009 Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game. However, the Crimson Tide's rushing game dominated the game, led by eventual Heisman Trophy winner and teammate, Mark Ingram.[40] Jones finished the game with four receptions for 46 yards,[41] with Alabama winning the game 34–24.[42] His first touchdown of the season would not come until September 26, as the Tide routed the Arkansas Razorbacks 35–7 in Tuscaloosa.[43] Jones caught a 50-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Greg McElroy, coming from a trick play, to put Alabama up 14–0 midway through the first quarter.[44] He would finish the game with two catches for 65 yards.[44]

After experiencing what some writers called a "sophomore slump",[45][46] Jones's production increased during the second half of the 2009 season. In a rivalry game against #9 LSU, Jones had his only 100-yard performance of the season.[47] He finished with four catches for 102 yards, including a 73-yard game-winning touchdown in Alabama's 24–15 victory.[48][49] In the annual Iron Bowl game against rival Auburn, Jones was instrumental in capping a come-from-behind victory, catching three crucial third-down passes in an 8-minute, 80-yard drive that fans call "The Drive" to set up running back Roy Upchurch's game-winning touchdown in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter.[50]

Alabama continued through the regular season undefeated at 12–0, working their way to a SEC Championship matchup with the #1 Florida Gators. Jones made the first catch of the game, an 18-yard catch from McElroy.[51] The Crimson Tide won the game 32–13,[52] earning a chance to play for the BCS National Championship in the 2010 title game against the #2 Texas Longhorns.[53][54] His 23 yards receiving led the Tide in the title game, as the passing game struggled.[55] However, the running game again took over for 205 total rushing yards and led Alabama to a 37–21 victory.[56][57]

2010 season

Jones started his junior season with a solid performance against San Diego State with six receptions for 93 yards and a touchdown in the 48–3 victory.[58] Two weeks later, Jones had five receptions for 106 yards and a touchdown in a 62–13 victory over Duke.[59] On October 9, in a conference game against #19 South Carolina, Jones had eight receptions for 118 yards and a touchdown in the Crimson Tide's 35–21 loss to the Gamecocks.[60] On October 23, Jones torched the Tennessee Volunteers for 221 yards on 12 receptions, which were good for collegiate career highs in both, in a 41–10 victory at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee.[61] On November 6, Jones had 10 receptions for 89 yards and a touchdown in a 24–21 loss to #12 LSU at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.[62] One week later, Jones was held to only three receptions for 41 yards in a 30–10 victory over Mississippi State but had a 56-yard rushing touchdown in the victory.[62] In the following game, against Georgia State, he recorded his first collegiate game with two receiving touchdowns in the 63–7 victory.[63] On November 26, in the Iron Bowl against #2 Auburn, Jones had ten receptions for 199 yards and a touchdown, but the Crimson Tide lost to the Tigers by a score of 28–27.[64] The Crimson Tide reached a bowl game, which was Jones's final collegiate game. In the 2011 Capital One Bowl against Michigan State, Jones had three receptions for 49 yards and 36 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown in the 49–7 victory.[65]

Jones ended his junior season with an Alabama record 78 catches and 1,133 yards along with seven touchdowns (fourth in school history). In addition, he had eight rushes for 135 yards and two touchdowns along with five punt returns for 44 yards and five kickoff returns for 129 yards.[66] Jones ended his Alabama career second in career receptions (179) and yards (2,653) in school history and fourth in touchdown catches (15).[67] He had eight career 100-yard receiving games (second in school history). Jones was a first-team All-SEC selection in 2010.[68]

Professional career

Jones playing for the Atlanta Falcons against the Seattle Seahawks in the divisional round of the 2012 NFL playoffs

On January 7, 2011, Jones decided to forego his senior season of college football. Instead, he chose to declare eligibility for the NFL Draft with teammates Mark Ingram, Greg McElroy, and Marcell Dareus.[72][73] Jones was later invited to the "All-Star Football Challenge", a skill contest shown by ESPN on February 4.[74] He excelled at the 2011 NFL Combine, posting the longest long jump and the third fastest 40-yard dash among wide receivers,[75] despite having a broken bone in his foot.

The Atlanta Falcons selected Jones with the sixth overall pick of the 2011 NFL Draft. Atlanta traded five draft picks to the Cleveland Browns to move up into their spot and take Jones, giving up their 27th, 59th, and 124th picks from the 2011 Draft, and their first and fourth round picks from the 2012 Draft.[77] He was the second wide receiver to be taken in the 2011 NFL Draft, behind only A.
