The NFL Can't Handle Amari and Julio

WRU?

Amari Cooper and Julio Jones are off to outstanding starts to the NFL season.

Julio is in his fifth season and recently signed the second-richest WR contract in NFL history following a phenomenal 2014 season. In the first two games of 2015 he had an NFL-high 22 receptions for 276 yards and two touchdowns. On Sunday he added 12 more catches for 164 yards and two scores. He is currently on pace to crush the NFL single-season record for both receptions and receiving yards.

As a rookie playing with a lesser quarterback, Amari isn't putting up quite the numbers that future Hall-of-Famer Jones is, but he came into the weekend with 12 catches for a healthy 156 yards and a TD through two games.
