DSFL Career
In Julio's first season in the DSFL, he went on to a blazing start. Although he was drafted in the 7th round, he quickly made himself well known throughout the league with his outspoken personality and his ability to perform on the field. The Minnesota Grey Ducks did not have a great start to the season, however, going 1-3 in their first four contests and losing by a significant margin. However, in the second part of the season, behind the blocking of Julio Jones, the offense was able to get rolling and running back Jamar Lackson and QB Sim Snowbow were able to pick up the pace, and the Minnesota Grey Ducks were able to win their division. Throughout the first half of the season, Julio Jones did not let up a single sack on the quarterback and led the league in sacks, competing for the title with fellow OL Kevin Malone. Julio Jones turned out to be one of the best gems in the S22 Draft and helped propel the Minnesota Grey Ducks to the top of their division with his record number of sacks. At the end of the regular season, Julio sat at the top of the Grey Ducks record books and the league statistics with 62 pancakes, which was enough to break the Grey Ducks single season and career pancakes record, 61 pancakes. As one of the top offensive lineman in this year's draft class, Julio Jones was very sought after in the NSFL draft, and many teams were interested in him. Julio Jones was the selected as a unanimous selection into the S22 DSFL Pro Bowl and went on to win the S22 DSFL Offensive Lineman of the year award.
In Julio's second season in the DSFL, people thought that he would be prone to regression and would not be able to have the amazing season that he did in his first year. However, he proved everyone wrong again. Although he came out to a little bit of a slow start, Julio Jones soon turned on the jets and began to outclass the rest of the DSFL in terms of production at the offensive line position. He had multiple games where he put up 8 pancakes, and did not let up a single sack on his quarterback all season long. After a fairly disappointing season, he ended up leading the entire DSFL for the second time in his career, with a total of 60 pancakes while allowing 0 sacks the entire season. The second place offensive lineman in the DSFL did not even break 50, ending up with only 49 pancakes. Due to this standout performance, Julio Jones was once selected to the pro bowl as one of two pro bowl offensive line selections that year, and one of the only unanimous pro bowl selections. At the end of his second year in the DSFL, Julio Jones was finally called up to his NSFL team, the Arizona Outlaws, where he will play this upcoming season. As of today, he is still waiting for the awards to be announced, as he believes that he deserves another offensive lineman of the year award, and will hopefully be able to win said award again.
NSFL Career
Julio Jones was taken in the 2nd round with the 15th overall pick in the 2038 NSFL draft. He had record breaking numbers at his combine appearance, tying the record for bench press reps at 48 and running a 4.96 second 40 yard dash. He made his NSFL debut for the Arizona Outlaws in S24 after spending two seasons in the DSFL with the Minnesota Grey Ducks.
In Julio's first season playing in the ISFL, Julio played mostly at guard for the Arizona Outlaws. With veterans Bruce Buckley and Calvin Golladay on the line, he was asked to play on the inside in order to help the team out and was able to do so. However, despite playing on the inside at guard, where he had never previously played before, Julio was still able to have a decent rookie season. As a rookie, he was able to put up 54 pancakes and only allowed 2 sacks on his quarterback. In comparison, Dick Thruster, fellow OL who went 3 picks ahead of Julio, only put up 58 pancakes and allowed 4 sacks. Considering that he played at guard for most of the season, Julio Jones put up a more than respectable number of stats for his rookie season in the ISFL. In the offseason, his mutual option with the Arizona Outlaws came up, and Julio decided that he would remain the Arizona Outlaws in order to once again help compete for a championship. However, whether or not he stays is decided largely by two things, the expansion draft and whether or not the Outlaws will be able to have success this upcoming season. The Arizona Outlaws were able to go 9-7 this season, and Julio hopes that next season, they will be able to build upon their work and ultimately become a contender. Some other goals that Julio has set his eyes on for the future is making a pro bowl. He would like to be recognized as a premier offensive lineman and hopes that he will be able to have the stats in order to back that up.
