Julio Jones Named to NFL All-Decade Team

Former University of Alabama wide receiver Julio Jones was named to the NFL's All-Decade Team on Monday.
Being named to an all-decade team is one of the league's highest honors. The 2010s team was voted on over the last several weeks by the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s 48-member selection committee.
Only players who received at least one selection to a Pro Bowl, Associated Press All-Pro team or Pro Football Writers of America all-conference team during the 2010-19 seasons were eligible.
Since being a first-round selection by the Atlanta Falcons in 2011, sixth overall, Jones has been twice named an All-Pro and three times a second-team selection. He's twice led the league in receiving yards, and landed a spot in the Pro Bowl seven times.
Overall, he's made 797 receptions for 12,125 yards, and scored 57 touchdowns.
He was also pretty good with the Crimson Tide.
