Green and Jones begin careers with a bang

A.J. Green and Julio Jones have started off their careers nicely. The initial numbers they've put up have been about as good as anything we've ever seen out of young wide receivers.

This chart shows the most productive receivers in their first two seasons, using the scoring system of 6 points for touchdowns and 1 point for every 10 receiving yards. Randy Moss and Jerry Rice, no surprise, fill the top two spots. But Green and Jones are right there - in the top 7 overall.

And lots of legendary-type receivers on this list.
