The Atlanta Falcons pulled off a surprise move in the 2018 NFL Draft when they took Alabama wide receiver Calvin Ridley with their first-round pick. According to members of the Falcons, the rookie has already established himself among his peers.
Several people praised the 6-1, 190-pound Ridley in a recent article by ESPN’s Vaughn McClure. Among them was free safety Ricardo Allen, who already got a good look at the former Coconut Creek Monarch High star during OTAs and the mandatory minicamp.
"One thing me and the veteran DBs already talked about and one of the things I'm already excited to see is him in Year 4 and Year 5," Allen said.
