HOUSTON _ Charles Tillman, the cornerback turned Fox analyst for Sunday’s Super Bowl (6:30 p.m.-Cincinnati’s Channel 12), took the cap of a water bottle this week when he was asked to name the best receiver between those 2011 NFL Draft soulmates.
The Bengals’ A.J. Green, the 6-4, 210-pound fourth pick from Georgia, or the Falcons’ Julio Jones, the 6-4, 220-pound sixth pick from Alabama, two southerners who have been connected at the hip since they played in a high school All-American game.
“Julio Jones is heads. This is tails for A.J.,” said Tillman as he flipped the cap on a table.
