Falcons’ Jones, Sanu listed among NFL’s top receiver duos

Former NFL wide receiver Nate Burleson listed Atlanta Falcons Julio Jones and Mohamed Sanu on his list of the Top 20 Wide Receiver Duos.

On NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football”, Burleson said Jones and Sanu landed at the No. 5 spot on his list because Jones provides such a great anchor for the offense and Sanu— the team’s No. 2 receiver.

"I want Julio to get in the end zone a little more… I know he's going to get in the end zone a lot more this season,” Burleson said. “And then with Mohammed Sanu who’s brought there to be the No. 2. I kind of tussle with this a little bit because I love Taylor Gabriel and he's an explosive guy... but I love Sanu because he's consistent and he knows his role."

Jones caught for 1,409 yards and six touchdowns last season while Sanu caught for 653 yards and four touchdowns in his first year with the Falcons.

Burleson's full rationale for placing Jones and Sanu at the No. 5 spot can be watched on the NFL.com and his Top 20 List can be seen below.
