Calvin Ridley to meet with the Bears during the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine

If the Scouting Combine is a job interview under the biggest microscope, then former Alabama wide receiver Calvin Ridley is already off to attempting to make quality first impressions.

Despite age concerns, the 23-year-old Ridley is widely considered the best receiver in the 2018 Draft class. During Friday formal press conferences, he pulled no punches when calling the Bears "a team on the rise" with a "great quarterback" in Mitchell Trubisky.

Talk about putting yourself in the good graces of a team that could make a top-10 investment in you.
