Julio Jones becomes Falcons' all-time receptions leader

Julio Jones secured his place in the record books Monday night, becoming the Atlanta Falcons' all-time leader in receptions.

Jones notched his record-setting 809th reception early in the Monday Night Football contest against the Green Bay Packers, surpassing Roddy White.

The pass-catcher is the club's all-time leader in receiving yards too, and he's just six touchdowns shy of tying White for the franchise record in receiving touchdowns.

The veteran has been one of the league's top receivers for much of the last decade. The 31-year-old has recorded over 1,000 receiving yards in each of his last six seasons.

Jones entered the game with 12,306 career receiving yards and 57 touchdowns.

The receiver, who has been battling injuries recently, was later ruled out at halftime for the remainder of Monday's contest after reaggravating a hamstring injury.
