Julio Jones to compete in 13th annual All-Star Football Challenge

I just was browsing Julio Jones stuff, seeing if he has officially declared for the combine, and stumbled across this. I know for sure I will be watching, as I am hoping to be watching the Rams future 1st round pick and Sam Bradford's future best friend. Tune into ESPN2 on Friday February 4th at 7:00PM EST.

Removed the link, please just copy/paste without posting links in the future. :)

i just meant to post al.com and added the www accidentally.

my bad

Thats pretty sweet. I probably won't get to watch, stuck here at college and all, but if someone uploads it to a website, I'd love a heads up :D

another thing that i like about this is the fact that, if he is competing in just an all-star type game, he will surely be competing in Indy in 3 weeks at the combine....which then again could be a bad thing for the Rams, but I am real excited to watch him in Indy and on Friday

Julio will be in Indy.

I sent Julio this tweet:

Looking forward to it. I've been on the Julio bandwagon since the middle of the season... just as excited about his blocking skills as I am about bringing in a legit yards after catch threat!

unfortunately he didn't compete and we were apparently misguided

he is training in arizona w aj green blaine gabbert prince amukamara and a few other prospects for the combine

\yeah, the top prospects always go to arizona for a camp and they get paid to instruct the camp while training for combine as well....few pass up this big pay day where companies and agents are all present
