Julio Jones Catch: Falcons Receiver Makes Leaping One-Handed Grab During Warm-Ups (VIDEO)

Rookie Wideout Makes Unbelievable Grab During Warm-Ups

It looks like Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan won't have to worry about letting passes sail a little bit this season.

During last night's broadcast of Sunday Night Football, NBC showed footage of an unbelievable one-handed grab that rookie wide receiver Julio Jones made during warm-ups.

In an athletic display that will probably haunt defensive backs for years, Jones used every centimeter of his 33-inch reach to effortlessly snatch a ball out of the air with one hand.

The Falcons traded a total of five draft picks in order to move up to acquire Jones on draft day in April, meaning they would probably like to see catches such as this when it counts sooner rather than later.

Thus far Jones has been consistent but not spectacular for the Falcons, accumulating 100 yards receiving so far this season, which is the third highest total among rookie wideouts.

The Falcons notched a big win against the Eagles on Sunday night. And if Jones can transfer his pre-game antics to the playing field, expect many more big wins for Atlanta this season.
