A Closer Look: Calvin Ridley steals the show

Unlike last week where I showcased a mixture of players showing flashes, this week’s review will mostly feature one player. Calvin Ridley’s electrifying performance was one of the lone highlights in an otherwise demoralizing defeat against the New Orleans Saints. I will be focusing on the standout plays, where he didn’t get into the end zone. Another rookie will be featured as well. There haven’t been many bright spots amongst a decimated defense, but this player has been a bright spot so far this season. Here are five plays showcasing the 2018 draft class.

One of Steve Sarkisian’s biggest improvements this season has to do with how well he is utilizing an ultra-talented wide receiver group.
