El mundo del deporte ofreció sus impresiones después de que el estelar Julio Jones pasara de Falcons a Titans
No fue ningún secreto que el receptor abierto Julio Jones iba a ser movido, especialmente después de que el veterano de 10 temporadas dijera, "Ya estoy fuera de allí", cuando se le preguntó acerca de los Atlanta Falcons en una llamada telefónica del 24 de mayo con Shannon Sharpe de FS1.
Este domingo, Jones obtuvo su deseo cuando los Falcons lo canjearon a los Tennessee Titans a cambio de selecciones de segunda ronda del 2022 y cuarta ronda del 2023.
Los jugadores de la NFL y los medios ciertamente notaron cuando los Titans --quienes ya cuentan con algunos de los jugadores más imponentes en lo físico, en toda la liga, comenzando por el corredor de 6 pies con 3 pulgadas, Derrick Henry-- sumaron a Jones, de 6 pies con 3 pulgadas a su ataque. Aquí hay una recopilación de algunas de las mejores reacciones en redes sociales.

I will say this until the day I die. A proven player is better than any draft pick.

Another thing of note, this trade should also benefit Julio Jones. The #Titans faced 8 man boxes 23.1% last year. That's tops in the NFL. The #Falcons faced 8 man box 12.5% (16th). That's going to be a huge uptick in 1 on 1 coverage. Translation: Brown and Jones should eat!
