Ryan, Jones Becoming Fast Friends

Oct 14, 2014 9:43 PM

Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan figures to throw towards rookie wide receiver Julio Jones a lot this coming season, so it's important that they form a bond. Over the past two months, the teammates have met at Ryan's suburban Atlanta home to study formations and discuss how Jones will fit into the offense. The Falcons traded up in April's NFL Draft to take Jones with the sixth overall pick. "I think for him, it was extra important to do this," Ryan said. "We have veteran guys who know the offense, who know what they are doing and how to prepare. For me, it was really good just to stay in his ear every day."

"It's going to be special," White said. "It's going to remind you of the Greatest Show on Turf. We've got a lot of explosive players and I see more explosive plays coming out of our offense. ... He's going to be a great player in this league."
