DYNAMIC DUO<br />
WHOOOO<br />
WR Julio Jones caught 79 passes<br />
for 1,198 yards and a team-high 10<br />
touchdowns last season. He joined<br />
WR Roddy White to make the <strong>Falcons</strong><br />
one of just four teams in the<br />
NFL with two 1,000-yard receivers<br />
in 2012.<br />
Jones and White were the first <strong>Falcons</strong> teammates to<br />
post 1,000 receiving yards in the same season since WR<br />
Tony Martin (1,181) and Terance Mathis (1,136) each accomplished<br />
that feat in 1998 when the <strong>Falcons</strong> were NFC<br />
Champions and represented the conference in the Super<br />
Bowl. It also marks the fourth time in team history two<br />
players have eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark in the same<br />
season.<br />
