Julio Jones has landed with his latest NFL team, as the former Atlanta Falcons and Tennessee Titans wide receiver will play with an all-time great.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Jones will play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and catch passes from Tom Brady.
Jones played in 10 games last year for the Titans, but had a career low season with just 31 catches for 434 yards and a touchdown.
This appears to be near the end of Jones’ career, as he was rumored to possibly land with the Indianapolis Colts and reunite with former teammate Matt Ryan.
As he piled up 13,330 yards and 61 touchdowns on 879 receptions, Jones led the NFL in receiving yards in 2015 and 2018 and led the NFC in receiving yards annually from 2014 through 2018. Jones owns one of the NFL’s 6 300-yard receiving games, and his career average of 91.9 receiving yards per game is the best in NFL history.
Jones at Alabama broke records for single-season receptions and receiving yards and single-game receiving yards and helped the Crimson Tide win the 2009 BCS national championship in an undefeated season.
Seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Julio Jones is signing a one-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, per source. The soon-to-be 45-year Tom Brady now will have a chance to throw to the 33-year-old Jones.
