The Tampa Bay Buccaneers added yet another future Hall of Famer this year when they signed seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Julio Jones just as they started training camp.

Jones joins an already star-studded offense that features big names like Tom Brady, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Leonard Fournette, giving the Bucs even more firepower as they look to make another Super Bowl run.

Fournette was a recent guest on The Rich Eisen Show and, in a video published Friday, had high praise for 33-year-old Jones.

"A guy that big and fast at the age he's at, explosive, he's very smart, and he knows what he's doing out there, man," Fournette said. "So just seeing it in person, especially with us as a whole, these guys practice and see how many one-on-one advantages we can take to help our team, it's scary."

When Eisen reflected on Jones' form as an elite wideout who hasn't lost a step, the running back couldn't help but agree.

"It's true."
