According to Charles Odum of the Associated Press on Friday, National Football League wide receiver Julio Jones of Foley, Alabama retired at the age of 36.

Jones was selected to the Pro Bowl for the first time in 2012. He was then selected to the Pro Bowl again for six straight seasons from 2014 to 2019.

It should be noted that Jones has not played since January 15, 2024. That was the NFC Wildcard game, a 32-9 Eagles loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jones had three catches for 32 yards. He did not play in the NFL in the 2024 regular season whatsoever.
