The Julio Jones and Patrick Peterson rivalry extends years; all the way back to their SEC days when they played for Alabama and LSU, respectively.
“He won a couple battles, I won a couple battles,” Peterson said this week, per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “But I think for the most part I won the majority of those battles. (Jones is) an incredible athlete. Love the battle and the competition between us. It just brings out the best in both of us.”
Peterson believes he’s the best cornerback in football, so just as he did last week, the Cardinals cornerback wants Jones one-on-one for old times sake.
“Me feeling I’m the best corner in the league, I want the team’s No. 1 receiver, period,” Peterson said. “That’s where you get the opportunity to gain the respect from your peers and be recognized as one of the best and one of the greats after you are done with the game.”
