The Atlanta Falcons have sparked controversy by assigning Julio Jones’ iconic No. 11 jersey to rookie Jalon Walker, whom they drafted in the first round. Fans and commentators are criticizing this decision, arguing that it disrespects Jones, the franchise’s all-time leading receiver, who left only five years ago and deserves his number to be retired. Many believe that such a significant number should not be given away so soon, suggesting a longer waiting period to honor Jones properly.
