Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones broke an incredible NFL record during Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers.
🚨 Record Alert 🚨
Julio Jones just became the first player in NFL history with 1,400 receiving yards in 5 straight seasons.
Jones was tied with Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison who had 1,400 receiving yards from 1999-2002 (4 straight).#Falcons @AtlantaFalcons

Julio Jones is an incredible talent and although he does not quite score the touchdowns to go with the yardage, this record is astonishing. To get 1,4000 receiving yards is a feat to be proud of alone, but to go five straight seasons with that yards total is very special. Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison will go down in NFL history as one of the greatest wide receivers to ever play the game. Considering Jones is in that company already with many years left to play in his career is something most players only dream of.
Jones has always made his presence known in the league and he continues to do so at an elite level with the same team that drafted him from the start of his career. Jone has always had competition alongside him in Atlanta, but he has easily stuck out over his teammates over the years. His size, speed, and catching ability are absolutely unfair for a player at his position. Julio is truly an athletic freak and puts up monster numbers on a regular basis.
The Falcons star receiver has many years presumably left in his career and this likely won't be the last record that Julio breaks. Jones will likely be in the Hall of Fame at the end of his career, it's a matter of what else he will accomplish that's in question.
