Indianapolis Colts great Reggie Wayne is thoroughly impressed by what Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones can do on the football field.

In an appearance on the NFL Network, Wayne said he thought Matt Ryan and Julio Jones were the League’s best quarterback-receiver duo.

In his 14-year career, Wayne caught for 14,345 yards and 82 touchdowns, averaging 68 yards per game.

"The only receiver in the League to average 100 yards (per game), you know how hard that is?" Wayne said. "And you know where it's going. When Calvin Johnson was in the League, they were calling him Megatron. This is Optimus Prime. Whenever he has the ball in his hands, it is potentially going all the way."

In his sixth season with the Falcons, Jones finished the regular season second in the League with 1,409 receiving yards,  behind the Colts’ T.Y. Hilton (1,448 yards).
