NFL Combine Results: WR Julio Jones Has A Big Day

Stay connected for news and updates

If the Oakland Raiders had the first pick in the draft, Julio Jones would probably be it… Unfortunately for Jones, the Raiders don’t even have a first round pick this year. Still, the WR from Alabama likely boosted his draft stock tremendously with a monster day at the NFL combine in Indy.

When you think of the two physical attributes a WR has to have, what comes to mind? Straight line speed and leaping ability right? Jones lit up Indy this morning with a blazing 4.39 40 yard dash time and a ridiculous 11’3 foot broad jump. When you combine that athletic ability with Jones’ 6-4, 220 pound frame… that’s a scary proposition for NFL defenses.

Plus, no one is going to call Jones simply a workout warrior either. He had 78 catches for over 1,100 yards and 7 TDs in a tough SEC last year. While most scouts still see Georgia WR A.J. Green as the top WR in this draft, Jones has certainly solidified himself as a close #2.
