Jones to take over Roddy White’s leadership role

FLOWERY BRANCH – With the offseason release of Falcons wide receiver Roddy White, the leadership-torch has been officially passed over to Julio Jones.

While White, who’s hoping to sign with a championship contender after the draft or possibly June 1, in no longer with the team, the lessons he taught Jones could be valuable.

“The voice is always going to be there because I learned a lot from him,” Jones said. “The way I work… he passed along some great traits to me. So, now I can teach the other guys.”
