4. Julio Jones and A.J. Brown – Tennessee Titans

Although they haven’t played any downs together on the Tennessee Titans, the prospect of A.J. Brown and Julio Jones sharing the same field is a scary thought for defenses. Both are physically gifted and have the dog mentality to outwork defenders. Defenses can only do so much, as doubling one leaves the other with an advantage. Figuring out a gameplan to stop these two will require a lot of brainpower from defensive coaches.

Jones hasn’t found the end zone much in recent years, but that will change with Ryan Tannehill at the controls. He wanted to be with a strong-armed quarterback, and Brown did the necessary recruiting to get him to Tennessee. With Derrick Henry forcing defenses to play up, the play-action game will prove deadly.

Jones and Brown’s combined 2020 stats were 138 receptions, 1,846 yards and 14 touchdowns. Those are impressive, not to mention Jones missed seven games last year. There’s so much potential; it should have defenders worried about being on these wideouts’ highlight reels.
