What number won't Julio Jones wear as a Tennessee Titan?
A.J. Brown tried to show respect and deference to his new wide receiver teammate Julio Jones in the Tennessee Titans WR room. And the veteran, who was acquired from the Atlanta Falcons on Monday, would not accept the offer of Browns No. 11. #11 until I retire . I tried to give it up and he wouldnt take it . Respect   AJ Brown (@1kalwaysopen_) June 8, 2021  Jones wore the No. 8 jersey while playing collegiately with Alabama. That number is currently being worn by Titans rookie punter James Smith. The Titans website is pushing people to order his jersey but the numerals shown are 00 so the digits appear to be determined. Jones commented for the first time on being traded to Tennessee on Tuesday, saying in a statement posted to social media that hell never forget my time as an Atlanta Falcon and thanked the Titans and their fans for warm welcome he and his family have received. Thank you ATL for all the love youve shown me over the years. Its been an amazing 10 years playing for the city & all the fans.
