Chad Johnson had knee injuries, Andre Johnson was about 31 before he slowed down, not 28. Calvin had some kind of injury that wouldn't go away, and apparently was sick of the Lions, so he just walked away. Jerry Rice and Tim Brown were productive into their late thirties, and even early 40's for Jerry. Steve Smith played forever, and as much as I didn't care for his attitude, he stayed quite productive. Randy Moss was dominant (whenever he wanted to be) for about 11 years. If receivers stay healthy, they don't get "old" at 28. RB's do. Now, everyone slows down around 30, but when you're talking about the elite receivers, they don't usually fall off a cliff at that age. Julio isn't showing any signs of slowing down, so to say he's going to suddenly get old this year is rather nonsensical, in my opinion.

He's closer to 29. He will start showing signs this year. Next year really start showing it. The body starts breaking down at 26. Gradual process but 29 very noticeable. What makes him great is the speed. Once that is gone lights out which will be next year but his numbers will fall this year. Good receiver but the party is over with. Should have an ok season though. He won't be WR1 next year I know that much.
