Stevan Ridley has spent most of the season watching from the sidelines, rarely even seeing any carries, but an injury to James Conner is giving the third-string running back more opportunities to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers. And he is hoping to see a lot of work on Sunday against the New England Patriots, against him he says that it’s personal.
Bill Belichick and New England drafted Ridley as a third-round pick back in 2011. He was a rotational player that season, averaging 5.1 yards per carry with 441 rushing yards, but he had a 1200-yard, 12-touchdown season in his second year.
