Julio Jones’ uniform on display at Pro Football Hall of Fame

The uniform that Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones wore when he became the fastest player in NFL history to reach 11,000 career yards receiving (115 games) has been sent to Canton, Ohio and is on display at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Jones eclipsed the mark in the 24-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans. The previous record was held by former Georgia Tech and Detroit Lions star Calvin Jones, who reached the mark in 127 games.
