If you want to be the best, you need to beat the best, and rookie cornerback Jordan Miller knows it. That’s why he wants to go up against Julio Jones in practice.
“(Miller), since Day 1, he told me — he pulled me to the side one day, and he was like, I want to cover you. I want to get better,” Jones said after Tuesday’s training camp practice. “So for him to even have that mentality is very impressive.”
It is very impressive for a rookie to willfully submit themselves to a high probability of getting burned to a crisp by the best wide receiver in the NFL.
