2023 Pre-Season Rank #5, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #9, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #12, 2020 Pre-Season Rank #14.  Peak Period 2015-19

If we were to guess, we would assume that Julio Jones, a free agent, would not be able to find a spot in the NFL again. His last three seasons saw diminishing returns in Tennessee, Tampa, and Philadelphia, respectively, so his Hall of Fame case lies with what he accomplished in Atlanta. Fortunately for Jones, he accomplished a lot in the ATL.

Jones was chosen for the 2010s All-Decade Team, was a two-time Receiving Yards leader, and a seven-time Pro Bowler.  From 2014 to 2019, Jones never had less than 1,394 Yards, and was a three-time leader in Yards per Touch.  The only statistical issue is the lack of Touchdowns (66), but elite Receivers have gotten in with less.

Jones will enter the Hall of Fame, and the only question is what year.
