Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones smiled and nodded his head with approval when told of owner Arthur Blank's reiterating last Sunday that he wants Jones to be a Falcon for life.
"I love Mr. Blank," Jones told ESPN. "I love the organization. That's why I do whatever it takes for the organization. I'm not a selfish guy, and neither is the organization. It's more like they're going to take care of what they need to take care of. It's no pressure on either end."
The "pressure" reference was to Jones' contract situation, an issue general manager Thomas Dimitroff promised to address fully going into the 2019 season.
