Rivals Julio Jones, A.J. Green on the same team at Pro Bowl

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones has been picked for three Pro Bowls, but he's never caught a pass in the NFL's all-star game. That seems likely to change on Sunday night, when Jones lines up for Team Irvin.

After his first Pro Bowl selection in 2012, Jones started for the NFC, but he hardly played. After his second Pro Bowl selection in 2014, Jones didn't participate in the game because of a late-season injury.

For this season's Pro Bowl, Jones has been full of pep in practice and talking as though the NFL's all-star game could mimic the NBA All-Star Game, which always is big on points.
