Julio Jones thanks city of Atlanta: ‘It’s been an amazing 10 years’

For 10 years, Julio Jones was beloved by Falcons fans as he dominated virtually every defense he went up against. On Sunday, the All-Pro receiver was traded to the Tennessee Titans, ending his decade-long run in Atlanta with 848 catches, 12,896 receiving yards and 60 touchdowns.

Jones wasn’t just a great player on the field, he was a model citizen off of it. Don’t let the past month of trade rumors overshadow everything he’s done for the franchise. On Tuesday, Jones released a statement from his personal Instagram thanking the fans, franchise and city for 10 great seasons.
