He does not have Julio Jones for organized team activities, but Matt Ryan might have found his number two option for next season in Calvin Ridley.
The first-round pick and former Alabama receiver made the Atlanta Falcons quarterback look good in a two-minute-drill on Wednesday.
Per Falcons’ beat writer Will McFadden, head coach Dan Quinn and Ryan have both been thoroughly impressed so far with Ridley’s efforts. He caught two passes from Ryan late in practice, to set up a field goal as time expired. Before getting selected as the 26th overall pick, Ridley was the favorite target for Jacob Coker and Jalen Hurts during his time in Tuscaloosa.
