Falcons wideout Calvin Ridley isn’t one of the bigger receivers in the league, but his speed, route-running ability and hands make him a dangerous deep threat for opposing defenses.
That talent is why many are predicting a breakout year from Ridley as he enters his third season. A video of Ridley’s workout from his Instagram account has been floating around and it’s impressive to say the least.
Atlanta’s former first-round pick absolutely cooks an opposing defensive back, which earned the praise 2019 NFL MVP Lamar Jackson on Twitter.
In less than two full seasons with the Falcons, Ridley has 127 catches, 1,687 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns while playing as the team’s second and third wideout since 2018.
Pass-catching tight end Austin Hooper landed in Cleveland via free agency, leaving Ridley an opportunity to showcase his skills in 2020.
