Most NFL careers don’t make it to four years, so when a player gives you a decade of Hall-of-Fame caliber football, you count that as a win. The Falcons made a difficult but necessary move by trading Jones, who leaves the franchise as the all-time leader in catches and receiving yards.

Jones took the field for the first time in Tennessee on Thursday, and after camp ended, he had nothing but good things to say about his time in Atlanta. Here’s Jones talking to the media after practice, as shared by AtoZSports Nashville’s Twitter account below.
