Alabama freshman receiver Calvin Ridley reminds Florida star cornerback of Amari Cooper

Jake Coker's pass was thrown deep down the middle of the field.

Down near the end zone, it was Alabama freshman wide receiver Calvin Ridley vs. two members of arguably the most talented secondary in the country, including a first-team All-SEC cornerback — Vernon Hargreaves — whom CBS Sports projects will be a first round pick in next year's NFL draft.

Ridley came down with the ball, leaping and making a contested catch between the two players inside the 5-yard line for a 55-yard gain during the Crimson Tide's 29-15 win over Florida in the SEC championship game last week.
