Julio Jones is a wanted man in the NFL. The Atlanta Falcons wide receiver is likely to leave the franchise this year, due to their significant cap constraints. Jones is a former Pro-Bowl player, who would make any offense excellent.
However, there is no clarity as to which team might be able to get him. For Jones, he will be hoping that his move comes through sooner rather than later. There is one player, though, who is actively trying to recruit him to his team.
That would be AJ Brown. Brown has been actively using social media to recruit Julio Jones to play for the Tennessee Titans. Earlier, he privately texted Jones on social media, before sharing those messages to the world.
