Do you guys believe Julio is a lock for the Hall of Fame? Let’s look at his key career stats:

He played in 166 career games
914 receptions
13,703 receiving yards
66 touchdowns

7x Pro Bowl
2x All Pro
HOF ALL 2010’s Team

I’m no Falcons fan, but Julio was always a threat when he played for them. In his prime, he was easily a Top 10 receiver, maybe Top 5? He didn’t win any Super Bowls, but he was a dynamic playmaker that had great chemistry with Matt Ryan in those explosive Atlanta offenses.


Do you think he did enough to get to Canton?

PFR Julio Jones

The Super Bowl they lost, he made a couple catches only 2-3 people ever could’ve made. I think if they win he gets in sooner. Now he’s gotta wait 15 years.

If Andre Johnson can get in, Julio can.

If you make an all-decade team, you're in the running for the HoF.

Of course, or absolutely you should be.

But watch Eli Manning and Ben Roethlisberger get in while Roger Craig, Lester Hayes and Deron Cherry are still left out in the cold.

Roger Craig not being in the HOF is absurd to me. Sure his cumulative numbers aren't all that impressive by modern standards and only 1 First team all-pro but...

The man is the prototype of most modern NFL RBs but did it at a time when there were no peers.

First 1000/1000 running back (a feat only matched by 2 other players since [Faulk and McCaffrey]). There are more 2000 yard rushers just in the last 15 years than there are 1000/1000 guys in NFL history.

In 1988 won the Thorpe MVP and was OPoTY. All Decade Team in the 80s. 3 time super bowl champ.

When he retired, he was 13th in rushing and 1st in receptions and yards for a RB. He is still top 50 in yards from scrimmage and rushing yards, 7th in RB receiving yards.

And he got all those catches playing on the same offense as Jerry Rice.

No. If he didn't play at alabama he wouldnt be thought of as anything more than just a pretty good recever. Not in the same stratisphere as locks hall of famers jefferson and chase!

In his prime he was top 3, top 2. This 6 year stretch was All-Time incredible.

He’s a HOFer

I think he will be a first ballot Hall of Famer, or at least there’s a good chance he will be.
