Falcons GM dismisses concerns about Jones' social media, missed workouts
Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff dismissed concerns surrounding Julio Jones and his use of social media after the draft concluded on Saturday.
Jones recently deleted photos of the Falcons from his Instagram feed, prompting some to believe that there is discord between the superstar and the team. He also skipped voluntary offseason workouts, instead electing to workout with Terrell Owens, who will be inducted into the Hall of Fame this summer.
"Julio and the organization are doing very well,'' Dimitroff said to ESPN's Vaughn McClure. "I'm not concerned one bit about any of the social media. I think we're in a great spot. He had very good discussions with (head coach) Dan (Quinn). And we're in a great spot.''
Dimitroff noted that the Falcons' offseason program is voluntary and said he's comfortable with the receiver's status.
Jones is one of the preeminent talents in the NFL, recording 88 receptions for 1,444 yards and three touchdowns last season.
