Everyone loves a reboot.

The Philadelphia Eagles announced the signing of 34 year Julio Jones on Tuesday.

Jones had an incredible stretch of being one of the best receivers in all of football from 2011-2019. Since then, he has played for three teams in three years, and seen a completely understandable drop in production.

This signing gave me an opportunity to do one of my favorite things: nostalgia lists.

With that in mind, here’s who I’d love to see signed/my ideal fantasy football lineup during Jones’ prime.

QB: Cam Newton
RB: LeSean McCoy
RB: Matt Forte
WR: Julio Jones
WR: Calvin Johnson
TE: Jimmy Graham
FLX: Darren Sproles
K: Stephen Gostkowski
D/ST: Ravens

So many other great fantasy names in this era: Drew Brees, Marshawn Lynch, Le’Veon Bell, Chris Johnson, DeSean Jackson, Rob Gronkowski, Adrian Peterson, I could go on for hours.

Because it’s the Eagles, I’m sure this signing will go perfectly and Jones will go back to his prime and become the best number three receiver in the league behind AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith.

The rich get richer.
