Atlanta Falcons receiver Julio Jones is one of Calvin Johnson’s favorite NFL receivers.

In a recent interview, the former Georgia Tech receiver was asked to name his favorite NFL receivers.

After some thought, Johnson listed Jones, Pittsburgh Steelers Antonio Brown and his friend and former rival A.J. Green.

"Oh that's tough" Johnson said, according to SB Nation's Cincy Jungle. "I have a friend in A.J. Green, who's with the Cincinnati Bengals. And I like Antonio Brown, but it's hard to pass on Julio Jones. He's a beast."
