Who Should I Start? Julio Jones or Marquise Brown

Friday, April 4, 7:32 PM

Former Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones has officially announced his retirement. The Alabama product had an incredible run as a Falcon, with whom he spent nine seasons before serving three consecutive one-year stints with the Tennessee Titans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Philadelphia Eagles. Jones tallied 914 receptions, 13,703 yards, and 66 touchdowns in 166 career games. The 35-year-old is the author of the third-highest single-season receiving yardage total of all time and ranks No. 16 on the all-time list of most receiving yards in a career. Jones was a spectacle on the field, with a rare blend of size, speed, and physicality that sought to give any defensive back fits. The former sixth-overall pick of the 2011 draft holds an excellent case for becoming a member of the Hall of Fame.

The Kansas City Chiefs made re-signing wide receiver Marquise Brown a priority this offseason, according to ESPN's Adam Teicher. "Hollywood" was limited to just two regular-season games in 2024 after signing a one-year deal with the team due to a preseason shoulder injury that landed him on long-term Injured Reserve. In two regular-season games and three playoff games, Brown caught 14 passes for 141 yards on 28 targets. Despite his limited action, the team saw enough to continue to believe in him heading into 2025. "Not everyone told me how much he can actually do on the football field and you could see it," quarterback Patrick Mahomes said. "He can run those over-the-middle routes. He can run really good routes and he can run deep. It's not like fast is the only thing that he can do." Brown could be a major factor in Kansas City's passing game to begin the season as Rashee Rice works his way back from a major knee injury and Travis Kelce continues to potentially decline.
