i actually think it's pretty close. Megatron was bigger but Julio imo has better hands.

It's hard to compare really because Megatron was the focal point from the get go of his career. While Julio was a high pick obviously, his early years still had a productive Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez. Just recently do you see Julio basically being the bar none #1 option, and obviously his numbers are crazy. He catches way more passes, but his TDs are still relatively low for such an explosive WR. I blame the falcons for that, for whatever reason they don't go to him in redzone enough.

I voted Julio in the poll :yeshrug: From a physical and talent standpoint I dont believe there's anything Calvin did that Julio cant do.
Megatron was slightly taller, slightly faster, had a higher vert and was ~15/20 lbs heavier. From a physical perspective Megatron is THE archetype. There's no one with better measurables.

The only thing Julio can offer in terms of dominance over Megatron is his route running. Was megatron the greatest route runner? idk. I don't think so. Hard to be when your stats are on swole like that

Between the 20s its debatable. Julio is a burner. He catch it and he gone. Megatron is a jumpball with 3 defenders around him type wr. But the redzone is what put Megatron over the top. Megatron easy on this one.

Tron had to deal with Roy *I think I'm a number 1* williams early in his career. Tron had better hands too, now if we're talking post effects of getting lit up from catching inaccurate/late throws from Stafford (Tron got nerve damage in his fingers:sadcam:) then yeah that version is close.
