 The countdown continues and our number twelve prospect in college football is...
Wide Receiver Julio Jones, Alabama (Junior):
The Skinny: From the moment Jones stepped onto the field as a 6’4”, 220-plus pound freshman at Alabama he made the rest of the SEC feel his presence. However, in 2009, despite adding a National Championship to his resume, the man-child had a lackluster sophomore campaign, due in part to nagging injuries. Now about to enter his junior season, Jones has NFL scouts in a feeding frenzy to see him justify their lofty expectations. He is as physical as they come and a difficult player to cover one-on-one. This could be a turning point for the highly-touted pass catcher—will he flourish and have the type of All-American season everyone believes he can, or flounder in mediocrity and make everyone wonder if we all overrated him as a freshman? Make no mistake; the Crimson Tide wide out has the ability to have that All-American season, which could translate to a top-10 selection in the spring of 2011.
