The NFL has released its rundown of records and milestones reached during the 2019 regular season, and Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones registered another season with more than his share.

During the Falcons’ 24-12 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Dec. 22, Jones reached 12,000 receiving yards in his career. He became the 27th player in NFL history to reach that milestone, and he needed fewer games to get there than any of the others. Jones was playing in his 125th regular-season game. The fewest games needed to reach 12,000 receiving yards before Jones were 142 by Jerry Rice.

Jones completed the 2019 season with a career average of 96.2 receiving yards per game. That is the best in NFL history by 8.7 yards per game.

Jones had 1,394 receiving yards in 2019, giving him six seasons with at least 1,300 receiving yards. Only Rice, with seven, has more such seasons. The only other player with at least six such seasons is Torry Holt. Like Jones, Holt recorded his seasons consecutively from 2000 through 2005. Jones' 2019 yardage is his lowest during the streak, so he's the only player in NFL history with at least 1,394 receiving yards for six consecutive seasons, and he and Rice are the only players with six overall seasons at that level.

With 99 receptions in 2019, Jones has had at least 83 receptions in six straight seasons, tying the longest such streak in NFL history. The others who have done that include Holt, Antonio Brown, Marvin Harrison, Demaryius Thomas, Wes Welker and Roddy White.

With six games with at least 100 receiving yards in 2019, Jones moved to No. 4 on the NFL career list with 55. The only players with more 100-yard receiving games than Jones are Rice with 76, Randy Moss with 64 and Harrison with 59.

With four games with at least 125 receiving yards in 2019, Jones boosted his career total to 32, tying Harrison for the third-most such games in NFL history. Rice with 49 and Moss with 35 are the only players with more.

Jones had two games with at least 150 receiving yards in 2019, boosting his career total of 15, tying Calvin Johnson and Don Maynard for fourth on the all-time list. The only players with more 150-yard receiving games in NFL history are Rice with 30, Lance Alworth with 17 and Terrell Owens with 17.

With 797 career receptions at the end of the 2019 season, Jones has the fourth-most for a player after nine seasons in the NFL. The only players who had more receptions after nine seasons are Harrison with 845, Brown with 837 and Holt with 805.

With three games with at least 10 receptions in 2019, Jones moved into a tie for third with Brandon Marshall on the NFL's career list. The only players with more 10-catch games are Andre Johnson with 22 and Brown with 21.

In the Falcons’ 24-20 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 15, Jones broke White’s franchise record for receiving yards. During his 11 seasons with Atlanta, White had 10,863 receiving yards. Jones will start the 2020 season 11 receptions short of White’s franchise record of 808. In the same game in which he broke White’s yardage record, Jones also became the second player to record six consecutive 100-yard receiving games against the same team. Before Jones bedeviled Philadelphia, the Denver Broncos’ Rod Smith had recorded six consecutive 100-yard games against the Kansas City Chiefs from 1998 through 2001.

Jones was an All-State selection in 2006 and 2007 and the state's Mr. Football, Class 6A Back of the Year and a Parade All-American in 2007 at Foley High School. Jones also won the long-jump and triple-jump championships twice apiece at the AHSAA Class 6A state track and field meet and the Class 6A high-jump title at the 2007 state indoor championships. He earned the Gatorade Boys' Track and Field Athlete of the Year Award for Alabama in 2007.

During his three seasons as a starter at Alabama, Jones set school records for single-season receptions and receiving yards and single-game receiving yards and helped the Crimson Tide win the 2009 BCS national championship in an undefeated season.
