We don’t have to tell you that Calvin Ridley is going to be Atlanta’s top receiver this year and hopefully well into the future. He was good as a rookie, very good as a sophomore despite dealing with injuries, and then truly broke out last year as the primary receiver when Julio Jones was on the shelf. Now, of course, Ridley, Russell Gage, Kyle Pitts and Hayden Hurst are going to be asked to carry the load in Atlanta’s passing game.
While Pitts is going to be expected to be special more or less right away, Ridley is the man defenses need to fear if this thing is going to run as smoothly as we’d like it to.
