If they aren't, then who cares that Julio ran faster and had a better long jump, that doesn't make him a better player. Just type in " AJ green highlights" to youtube and tell me he isn't the best receiver in the draft.<br /><br />Oh and for the people criticizing his build, Randy Moss is listed at 6'4 210 while AJ is listed at 6'4 211. Moss' build sure didn't hurt him, he is 6th all time in receiving yards and 4th in TD receptionsA-Phizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625618719959091733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-29242620478449476422011-03-01T21:30:10.568-05:002011-03-01T21:30:10.568-05:00Here's to the Falcons picking Houston.Here's to the Falcons picking Houston.PTC DAWGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-75937453287979654992011-03-01T19:59:37.372-05:002011-03-01T19:59:37.372-05:00I have a better chance of becoming queen of Englan...I have a better chance of becoming queen of England than Jones going before AJ.

Aj is a more than capable and willing blocker...I am really shocked that so many people are getting caught up in the hype of this workout and forgetting and think a 40 time and broad jump are going to push Julio ahead of A.J. and erase 3 years worth of college game film. Not to mention the fact that he is about to have a screw inserted in his foot and not be able to exercise for 8 weeks. <br /><br />All Julio's workout did was confirm that he is a great athlete, which most people already knew and close the wide gap that AJ had. All of AJ's numbers were equal or better than every other WR at the combine. It's not like he performed poorly or was at the bottom of every category.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-33426378458781365772011-03-01T15:15:23.804-05:002011-03-01T15:15:23.804-05:00I don't know but it seems that once again the ...I don't know but it seems that once again the eye test will have a bearing on the draft status of AJ. I think it comes back to the S&C situation at UGA and yes I know AJ beat him in the reps but in the other events he out performed AJ. Jones just looks like he is big enough to hold up over the long hall AJ just looks skinnier. Wide outs are expected to block and block well and body type matters. Just ask Fred Gibson about blocking, that's what got him out of the pros.UGA69Dawgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-31553436187420565192011-03-01T15:07:16.513-05:002011-03-01T15:07:16.513-05:00Anon - you beat me to it!

Bunting has been harsh on Green since the weigh-in saying that Julio "clearly looks like a guy who spends a lot of time in the weight room", while AJ "looks like someone who does not."<br /><br />Yet somehow AJ did more bench reps than him even though he weighs less and his arms look a lot more defined now than they ever did his first two seasons.The Rocknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-78167738879868571722011-03-01T12:53:51.519-05:002011-03-01T12:53:51.519-05:00anon 12:10

Supposedly, the scouts were not impressed with AJ's body frame and apparent lack of commitment to weight lifing. If you will recall, he was not in shape when he came back at the Colorado game. <br /><br />Hines Ward has a much more solid body for the NFL and has lasted.

(Probably my fault for not being clearer). I'm not saying the combine times and drills SHOULD vault Jones past Green, I'm pointing out that a few scouts are saying they MIGHT.<br /><br />Frankly I don't think you can go wrong with either Green or Jones. And if anything, I think going by combine stuff, over actual college performance, is silly.Seth Emersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06528604970395659237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-3704302566196237272011-03-01T11:29:51.354-05:002011-03-01T11:29:51.354-05:00It amazes Seth that you and others are surprised t...It amazes Seth that you and others are surprised that AJ ran a high 4.4 or 4.5 flat! That is plenty fast! <br /><br />Go talk to Jerry Rice and Anquan Boldin about their 4.7 and 4.8 40s. Heck Larry Fitzgerald ran a 4.63 40 at the 2004 combine, and I didn't see any Steelers catching him from behind in the Super Bowl a couple of years ago. <br /><br />That's what most expected AJ to run going in, so why the shock?! <br /><br />He plays much faster on the field and film, which is all that matters. How many times did he break into the open and get run down? How many deep balls did he fail to catch over the course of his career b/c of his speed? How many DBs did he fail to beat deep as result of his speed?<br /><br />Julio performed very well and his measurements are very impressive, BUT the FILM DOES NOT LIE! <br /><br />AJ has never had a case of the drops like Julio, and his highlight reel from each of his 3 years at UGA speak for themselves, not to mention that he is a more polished route runner and stronger than Julio in spite of being thinner.<br /><br />Simply put, Julio closed the gap some, which had been very wide, but it is silly to suggest that a 40 time, broad jump, or vertical will vault him over the AJ short of the Raiders being involved! Especially, when AJ was no slouch in those categories compared to everyone else.The Rocknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-12304417262173571042011-03-01T10:50:48.948-05:002011-03-01T10:50:48.948-05:00Mike leach to uga, you are an idiotMike leach to uga, you are an idiotAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-86454804464941075792011-03-01T10:31:30.855-05:002011-03-01T10:31:30.855-05:00Mike Leach to UGA!!!!!Mike Leach to UGA!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-18362122608243635132011-03-01T10:26:13.819-05:002011-03-01T10:26:13.819-05:00I would take either one on my team.I would take either one on my team.PTC DAWGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-90341274137720571212011-03-01T10:18:23.347-05:002011-03-01T10:18:23.347-05:00Couple corrections: Julio Jones ran a 4.39 on his ...Couple corrections: Julio Jones ran a 4.39 on his best official 40 time and AJ ran a 4.5.
