Julio Jones has an outside shot at NFL records for catches and yards

After he gets stranded on Breaux Island Sunday his nickname will be Gilligan!

With a big game on Sunday, Atlanta’s Julio Jones could put the finishing touches on the greatest statistical season for a wide receiver in NFL history.

Jones currently leads the league in catches with 127 and yards with 1,722. The NFL record for catches is 143, set by Marvin Harrison in 2002, and the NFL record for receiving yards is 1,964, set by Calvin Johnson in 2012.

So if Jones has 17 catches for 243 yards on Sunday, he’ll break both NFL records. That, of course, is a tall order. Jones’s career high for catches in a game is 13, and his career high in yards is 259.

If we put Browner on him, he's the new record holder.

Penalty yards don't count for him.
