He tore his ACL, what, 2 times at least within 2-3 years? Throw that on top of being a ~31 year old wide receiver and that's what you've got.

Julio Jones never had a significant injury to my knowledge and he also faded into obscurity thanks to father time.

He was signed by the Giants which automatically aged him like a fine wine... baw hung it up after his BTC took off

WRs are only good for 5 years these days. After that they are spent. That's why I am adamant that you do not draft them in the 1st Rd.

Age and injuries. Younger kids take jobs.

Injuries and inactivity caused him to diminish skills wise, plus father time has caught up to him.

Currently sitting at 575 receptions 7987 yards and 59 TDs. Add an additional 180 yards and a TD rushing. Has 29 receptions for 350 yards and 2 TDs in the playoffs. I would say a 8000 yard 60 TD career is pretty damn good especially with the injury history.

11th oldest receiver in the league at time of release.

Football is a young man's game.

Like most NFL WR’s…. He peaked after having decent production. Very few guys at that position play well after 30.
