Why NFL players ranked Julio Jones the fourth-best player of 2018

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones was named the fourth-best player in the NFL Monday by fellow players in the League on the NFL Network’s 2018 NFL 100.

Jones, who received for 1,444 yards and three touchdowns last season for the Falcons, ranked behind Tom Brady, Antonio Brown and Carson Wentz respectively on this year’s list.

When the NFL Network asked Green Bay Packers safeties Morgan Burnett and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix what makes Jones such a dominant player, they were left speechless.

“Words can’t describe it,” Burnett said.

“I have nothing to say, man,” Clinton-Dix said. “He’s an absolute beast.”

Jones fell one spot on this year’s list from his No. 3 ranking in 2017.

Other NFL players’ opinions of Jones, including Falcons safety Keanu Neal, Rams wide receiver Braden Cooks and Chefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill, can be watched below:
