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 />
