FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- There's a different side of Julio Jones not everyone outside of the Atlanta Falcons' locker room gets to see.
Assistant head coach Raheem Morris, who works with the wide receivers, noticed it immediately. He saw how younger players leaned on Jones for direction. Morris also noticed how ex-Falcons on other teams often reached out to Jones for advice.
Two-time Pro Bowl running back Devonta Freeman is very familiar with that aspect of Jones' character. He's benefited from it.
"He's helped me in a lot of ways, just with the things I see and any type of advice I need," Freeman said of Jones.
