Falcons receivers Roddy White and Julio Jones had starkly different years.
Jan 7, 2016

Much has been written about Roddy White's production this season and Julio Jones' record-breaking catches.

White, who is under contract for two more seasons, saw the number of passes thrown his direction steeply decline under coordinator Kyle Shanahan's offense. Jones benefitted with nearly 140 catches and the best receiving yards total of his pro career.

But the differences have been building up over longer than the last 16 games. Click on the chart and see how two of the Falcons' top wideouts have compared over the last few years.
