All-Pro wide receiver Julio Jones made it clear Monday morning that he doesn’t want to return to the Atlanta Falcons.
Hall of Fame member Shannon Sharpe, co-host of “Undisputed” on FOX Sports, called Jones live on the show and asked him if he was going to continue his career in Atlanta.

Players it will most hurt:
It’s the young players, of course, starting with the rookie class. But second-year players such as wide receivers Henry Ruggs III and Bryan Edwards, and cornerbacks Damon Arnette and Amik Robertson need as much coaching as possible. Really, the entire defense needs the work as it transitions to Gus Bradley’s scheme. And of course, the new offensive line needs all the time it can get to work together. So this isn’t great . but it’s happening all over the league.

Last year, the Raiders drafted three of seven players who they projected to play a different position in the NFL than in college.
The Raiders took Kentucky’s Lynn Bowden Jr. to play running back after he played receiver and quarterback in college; Tanner Muse to play linebacker after he played safety at Clemson; and Louisiana Tech cornerback Amik Robertson to be a nickel cornerback after he played on the outside in college.
