Julio Jones: 'Devin Hester can be a threat at receiver'

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones believes that teammate Devin Hester can be a threat for the club in their offense rather than just special teams.

The 31-year-old joined the Falcons in the off-season from the Chicago Bears after playing eight seasons with the NFC North side.

Jones is adamant that Hester can be a threat as a wideout, despite his limited play in the role with the Bears as he mainly featured as a kickoff and punt returner.

Jones told TheMMQB.com: "The thing that people don't understand is that for us, he's not just going to be a returner. We've seen it out here. He can help us as a receiver, and he is helping us."

Hester has returned the most touchdowns on special teams in the history of the NFL.
