Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill would 'love' to play alongside All-Pro Julio Jones

The Kansas City Chiefs aren't currently in the running for Julio Jones. However, if they decide to throw their name into the ring, Tyreek Hill would be more than happy to play alongside the Atlanta Falcons wide receiver. 

"If I could play alongside Julio Jones, that would be amazing," Hill said Friday, according to Taylor Eldridge of The Kansas City Star. "I was in high school when he was doing his thing at Alabama, and I've been a fan ever since. How big he is, how fast he is, and how dominant he is, we all know Julio is arguably the best in the game. If I'm able to play alongside Julio, I would love it."

The Chiefs already have one of the best passing attacks in the game with Hill, Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes. Adding Jones would make Kansas City even more dangerous than they already are.

However, the Chiefs will face some stiff competition if they want to acquire the seven-time Pro Bowler. The New England Patriots, Tennessee Titans, Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks and Baltimore Ravens are reportedly pursuing him. 

Jones reportedly requested a trade earlier this offseason and made it known last month that his time in Atlanta has come to an end, telling FS1's Shannon Sharpe, "I'm out of there."

Atlanta must clear cap space to sign its 2021 draft picks, and moving Jones, who is due $15.3 million this season, makes the most sense. 

The Falcons were initially seeking a first-round pick for Jones. Now they are reportedly willing to settle for a second-round selection.
