Falcons WR Julio Jones has confidence in RB Todd Gurley

Perhaps nobody is more excited about the Falcons signing Todd Gurley than the man that showed up at the running back’s home following Gurley’s release from the Rams.

Julio Jones knows how much a dynamic runner can help Atlanta’s offense after it sputtered for most of 2019. Opposing defenses were able to key in on Jones, and despite his impressive numbers, the team’s lack of balance hindered his effectiveness at times.

So it should come as no surprise that Jones is confident in Gurley to recapture his All-Pro form in 2020. Talking with reporters after Thursday’s camp practice, Jones discussed his expectations for the Falcons’ new running back.
