While fans are excited about Walker joining the Falcons and hope he can be a strong addition to the team, many feel he’s still unproven and has a lot to prove before wearing such an iconic number. Jones didn’t just wear No.

Shannon Sharpe criticized the Falcons for the disrespectful act of giving Julio Jones’ No. 11 to Jalon Walker instead of retiring it.

Jones played 10 seasons with Atlanta, earned seven Pro Bowl invitations and received first-team All-Pro recognition twice. He has more Pro Bowl selections than any other Atlanta player, and he’s among the five Falcons tied for the team lead in first-team All-Pro picks.
