He also has incredible hands and the best vision and ball-tracking skills in the game (IMO).
If you were going to frankenstein up the best NFL wideout, you couldn't do much better.

If you made him taller you probably wouldn't get those quick cuts; his ability to accelerate from a standing stop or not lose speed out of his breaks is unreal and I don't think you can have that in a body like Julio Jones. I don't think you'd have that ability to just explode upward for jump balls either. That's something we kinda forget about sometimes with Hill - his body control and explosion to go up and get balls is just something you don't see. Ever. Guys that go up like that usually have to gather themselves and maybe slow down a bit. That guy just plants a foot and springs straight up.
Calvin Johnson couldn't even quite do that (though at 6'5" or whatever he didn't really have to).
You really couldn't design a better player for this offense and this QB if you built one in a lab. He's just so uniquely gifted for what we have around him.
