TAMPA, Fla. -- It didn’t take long for wide receiver Julio Jones to have his first wow-type moment with quarterback Tom Brady as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
With 1 minute left in the first half Sunday night at the Dallas Cowboys, the 6-foot-3, 220-pound Jones raced 20.62 mph on a go route to make a stunning 48-yard catch. It wound up being the third-fastest time of any receiver carrying or catching the ball in the league in Week 1, according to NFL Next Gen Stats, and the fastest of any receiver on a deep route.
