TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Even though he’s only 13 games into his collegiate career, University of Alabama wide receiver Calvin Ridley can’t avoid the comparisons.
He considers them the highest form of praise but makes it clear that he’s not Amari Cooper or even the next version of the 2014 Heisman Trophy finalist.
“I’ve heard it. That’s amazing, but I’m myself,” Ridley said. “I don't really pay attention to it, but I'll take it. The guy's great."
That’s the kind of thing that’s been going on a lot when it comes to the Crimson Tide’s last recruiting class, which is already living up to its high expectations.
