VIDEO: Remembering When Julio Jones Destroyed a Saints DB After an Interception

It's no secret that Julio Jones is one of the most dangerous wide receivers in football. What some fans may forget, however, is that he's dangerous both with and without the football in his hands.

A prime example of this came in a 2017 matchup between the Atlanta Falcons and the division rival New Orleans Saints.

Matt Ryan threw an interception with time winding down in the second quarter, and Saints DB Marshon Lattimore was threatening to run it all the way back for a touchdown.

He put the moves on Ryan, and likely thought he was in the clear. That's when Jones closed in and delivered an absolutely massive hit, de-cleating Lattimore.

Of course the Falcons would prefer if their offensive players never had to make any tackles, but having Julio serve as a defender when they turn the ball over can certainly help limit the damage that's done in those situations.
