re: Is Julio Jones a Hall of Famer?

quote:

---

Boldin (eligible since 2021), Reggie Wayne (2019), & Steve Smith (2021)

Also, Brandon Marshall (eligible since 2023), Heins Ward (2016) & Torry Holt (2014) all have receptions & TDs over Julio (but not yards) and are still waitin


Which of those players are you taking over Julio?

While Julio's per game averages might be higher and he has 5 all pros, a lot of these other guys have better career numbers. Reggie Wayne for sure. He was a 3 time all pro himself and has a Super Bowl. shite Torry Holt in similar number of games has more receptions and TDs and was a 2x all pro.

These are pretty damn close and the other guys have been waiting longer.


Jones:
166 games, 914 receptions, 13,703 yards, 66 TDs (5x all pro)

Boldin:
202 games, 1,076 receptions, 13,779 yards, 82 TDs (Super Bowl)

Wayne:
211 games, 1,070 receptions, 14,345 yards, 82 TDs (3x all pro, Super Bowl)

Steve Smith Sr.:
219 games, 1,031 receptions, 14,731 yards, 81 TDs (3x all pro)

Brandon Marshall:
179 games, 970 receptions, 12,351 yards, 83 TDs (2x all pro)

Hines Ward:
217 games, 1,000 receptions, 12,083 yards, 85 TDs (3x all pro, Super Bowl x2)

Torry Holt:
173 games, 920 receptions, 13,382 yards, 74 TDs (2x all pro, Super Bowl)

I have yet to see anyone claim Mike Evans will not make the Hall if Fame. Jones was a better receiver than Evans.

Yes. Deservedly so. He was uncoverable for about 5 years.
