Former Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones, one of the best players in franchise history, announced his retirement from the NFL on Friday.
The 36-year-old Jones, who made the announcement on the app Squad, was a seven-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time first-team All-Pro during his 13 NFL seasons. He twice led the NFL in receiving yards (2015 and 2018) and is the Falcons' all-time leader in receptions (848) and receiving yards (12,986).
His 60 receiving touchdowns rank second in Falcons history behind Roddy White (63).
"I'm making this announcement today because of the city of Atlanta," Jones said.
