He was drafted in 2011 and retiring now? That's like.... 3 years ago.

Is Julio the last WR still in the league from the 2011 draft?

90

I was just thinking to myself that Julio got washed fast, but in reality he was a top receiver for like 9 years lol

I guess that means Roddy White retired like 10 years ago? Geez lol

Prime Julio was a force to be reckoned with

Prime Julio is the closest thing I saw to Megatron on another team. Dude just refused to be beaten.

Just checked, and it's just Julio and Randall Cobb left. Although it seems like Cobb will retire soon perhaps?

Randall Cobb feels like he's 40, when in reality he's apparently 32

I believe he was the first player born in the 1990s to be drafted. I seem to remember that from the 2011 draft coverage.

He's had a lot of injuries and WRs tend to fall off pretty quickly. Honestly not a huge surprise, he's got nothing left to prove and tbh I'm glad he's not gonna risk his life out there for any longer

I was more making the point that somehow 2011 was 12 years ago. I remember when this dude entered the league and was amazing. Seems like yesterday.
