Julio Jones is one of four Falcons at this year's Pro Bowl in Hawaii.

Atlanta's wide receiver was a little rusty (see video, below) as his team gathered for their first practice in Hawaii.

Jones and running back Devonta Freeman were named to the Pro Bowl in December. Cornerback Desmond Trufant and fullback Patrick DiMarco have been added to the Pro Bowl roster as alternates this week.

All four are members of Team Irvin, coached by Hall of Famer Michael Irvin. Freeman was named as team captain.

Team Irvin will face squad coached by Jerry Rice in the Pro Bowl, airing at 7 p.m. Sunday on ESPN.
