 |
By Greg Cox
Strengths:
Elite size and great speed
Strength to beat press
Breaks tackles and eludes defenders
Ability to make the tough catch
Willing to go over the middle
Game-changer
Capable and experienced blocker
Played against top competition

Injury history
Summary: Julio Jones might have stood out more in college playing on a team not as dedicated to the run featuring Heisman winning running back Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson. On the plus side, Alabama ran a pro-style offense, and Jones gained valued experience blocking downfield. He has some injuries, but plays through them, which is a trait NFL teams look for.
