Alabama is ranked #6 on the AP Poll and #7 in the BCS ranking after recently slipping from the #1 position because of a loss to South Carolina. They are 7-1 overall and 4-1 in their divison. The Crimson Tide has one of the best bunch of upper class men and potential future NFL draft picks. One such potential is wide receiver Julio Jones.
Coming out of high school Jones was a highly recruited player. He came to Alabama and was the first receiver to start as a true freshman. He finished his first year with 58 receptions for 924 yds and 4 TDs and was named the SEC Freshman of the Year. His sophmore year he was voted to the All-SEC Coaches' Football Team and helped lead the Crimson Tide to a BCS National Championship. So far this season he has 45 receptions for 669 yds and 3 TDs.
Jones is 6'4"/220 lbs and is likened to Terrell Owens or Larry Fitzgerald. He is big powerful elusive and quick with very sure hands. With so many NFL teams looking for such a receiver, his potential to be a high draft choice is great. He would be welcome at almost every team in the league.
