The RingerCalvin Ridley Is the NFL’s Newest Superstar Wide Receiver
The 2018 first-round pick is on pace to shatter all of his previous career highs. In the Falcons’ dark times, Ridley’s star has shined bright.
Calvin Ridley’s star is rising so rapidly in Atlanta, he just might make you forget that times are grim for the Falcons right now...in the midst of Atlanta’s losing streak, Ridley has emerged as much more than just a sidekick to perennial Pro Bowl wideout Julio Jones. Ridley is a no. 1 receiver in his own right.
Through three games, Ridley has 21 catches for 349 yards (second most in the league) and four touchdowns (tied for first). He’s the only player to have registered at least 100 receiving yards in each game this season. Needless to say, he’s on pace to shatter all of his previous career highs...if he keeps up this pace, he’ll total 1,861 receiving yards—more than his previous two seasons combined.Ridley’s two outstanding debut seasons in the league were encouraging, but three games into his third, it’s clear that he’s taken the next step toward becoming one of the best receivers in the NFL. And at a time when Atlanta is slim on victories, Ridley’s dominance and trajectory to superstardom are welcome.Spoiler:

Productive year so far.
Julio does take a lot of pressure off Ridley.

The more I watch Ridley, the more he reminds me of Marvin Harrison.
Ridley and Trevor Lawrence could be as good as Harrison and Manning and could be a great duo for the Falcons for the next 15 years.

Calvin Ridley is the most glaring Falcons Pro Bowl snub
The third-year veteran is having his breakout campaign, as he’s third in the NFC in yards and sixth in touchdown receptions.
