Julio Jones announced his retirement from the NFL on Friday, officially hanging up his cleats after 13 seasons in the NFL. As Jones shared that he was retiring on the app "Squad," he took the time to thank multiple coaches and teammates from his career, including his former quarterback, Matt Ryan.
“Matt Ryan, thank you. It was a lockout in 2011 [the year Jones was drafted]—you went as far as taking me to your home, showing me the playbook, going to fields, going over plays,” Jones said. “Thank you. I appreciate you, man.”
