Julio Jones signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a one-year deal and will have the chance to revive his career by playing alongside Tom Brady. Last season, Jones played for the Tennessee Titans, where once again he had an injury-ridden campaign.
Following the signing of Julio Jones by the Bucs, Shannon Sharpe, on his show, UNDISPUTED, talked about what the former Falcons WR needs to do. Sharpe believes the major concern about Julio Jones is always his fitness. The NFL Hall of Famer wants to see Jones healthy and playing next season.
Talking about the fitness of Julio Jones, Shannon Sharpe said, “Hopefully Julio’s body will allow him to give us the glimpse of Julio because I think that’s what happen Skip because of the soft tissues injuries, it had really prevented him from practicing much anymore, and I know that had turned the Falcons off because basically, he was just playing.
He added, “So, I don’t know if that’s what happened when he went to Tennessee, whatever reason, he got nicked again and had the issues again, and only 7 games again. So, we know what Julio was, we believe what he can be, we just haven’t seen that Julio for such a long time…”
Shannon Sharpe knows how talented Julio Jones actually is and wants to see him fit on the field next season. Hopefully, Jones will be able to get things right this time around.
Julio Jones has a chance to bring his career back on track
Julio Jones will get a chance to play alongside the great Tom Brady this season. A few years ago, Brady stopped Jones from winning a Super Bowl when he was with the Atlanta Falcons.
Now, Jones would want to get his career back on track. Brady will be the perfect quarterback for him. Everything now depends on the availability of Jones. If he is healthy, he’ll be good. He wouldn’t want to miss a good chunk of games again this season.
