Falcons rookie wide out Calvin Ridley is a player coming to the team with a lot of fan fare, but according to the national media, he’s got a long way to go to be successful in the NFL.
Website NumberFire.com says that Ridley is ranked 28th when it comes to ranking teams’ second wide outs in the NFL.
Here’s what they had to say about the rookie.
Calvin Ridley was the second wide receiver taken in the 2018 NFL Draft, where he will be the understudy to Julio Jones. For now, though, he will be competing with Mohamed Sanu for targets in the Falcons’ offense. While Ridley enters as one of the older rookie receivers we’ve seen, he will likely take his lumps on the depth chart before being given his chance to shine in a featured role. Mark Ridley as a mid-season “buy” candidate, for now.
