Former Alabama star wide receiver has continued to make a name for himself each and every season in the NFL as an Atlanta Falcon. So much so, that Jones was named the best outside receiver by Touchdown Wire.
Here are just a few of Jones’ highlights that Touchdown Wire shared, and there’s no denying: he’s simply the best.

And stats wise, this is mind blowing.
Since 2013: #JulioJones has, get this, AVERAGED 110 receptions for 1,644 yards every 16 games.
That is more than Randy Moss’ career high of 1,632 in 2003.
That’s what Julio has AVERAGED, every year, for nearly a decade.
Every compliment you’ve heard has underrated him. ✈️ pic.twitter.com/bYIztPAQBo

Julio Jones battled the injury bug last season, but Ryan revealed how Jones is looking by saying Julio “has been awesome” this offseason and “looks in great shape.”
Jones, who has become a huge part of the Falcons’ offense, reached the 12,000 yard mark in 125 games, which is 17 less games than it took Jerry Rice to do so. Jones also passed Rice for the second most receiving yards in NFL history in a player’s first nine seasons in the league.
Jones is also the new franchise record holder for all time leader receiver for the Falcons. So far in his career with the Falcons, Jones has recorded 12,125 receiving yards and 57 TDs. This past season, he finished the season with 99 receptions for 1,394 yards and 6 TDs.
