2011 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Julio Jones

Strengths:

Elite size and great speed

Strength to beat press

Breaks tackles and eludes defenders

Ability to make the tough catch

Willing to go over the middle

Game-changer

Capable and experienced blocker

Played against top competition

Weaknesses:

Will drop some passes

Runs before securing the ball

Inconsistent route runner

Needs to improve focus

Injury history

Summary: Julio Jones might have stood out more in college playing on a team not as dedicated to the run featuring Heisman winning running back Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson. On the plus side, Alabama ran a pro-style offense, and Jones gained valued experience blocking downfield. He has some injuries, but plays through them, which is a trait NFL teams look for.
