Rookie WR Calvin Ridley already setting records with Falcons

After being selected with the 26th pick in the first round of this year’s draft, Ridley impressed his coaches, teammates and quarterback Matt Ryan throughout the summer. The former five-star and All-American took the things that made him successful under Nick Saban, and in his third regular season game, he applied them against New Orleans despite a 43-37 loss.
