Players petition Julio Jones to join their teams
Julio Jones' disclosure Monday that his time with the Atlanta Falcons is coming to an end prompted many of his peers to petition the seven-time Pro Bowler to join their teams.
NFL stars weren't shy about making their pitches to the 32-year-old on social media.
Arizona Cardinals receiver DeAndre Hopkins was among them, lobbying Jones to join him in the desert.
Los Angeles Rams corner Jalen Ramsey rifled off all the benefits of playing for the California club.
A winning culture, a great city, prime time games, LA’s number 1 football team, etc etc..
