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.
