Calvin Ridley didn’t dominant the NFL Combine like former Alabama receivers Julio Jones and Amari Cooper. His 4.43 40-yard dash and 6.88 3-cone were impressive, but the 31-inch vertical and 9’2″ broad jump left a lot to be desired.
The up-and-down performance has caused some draft pundits to question whether the 6-0, 189-pound receiver deserves first-round consideration in the upcoming NFL draft in April. Yes, it’s true that the workout didn’t meet the expectations of some, but any conclusion that leaves Ridley out of the first-round is flawed.
In fact, Ridley would be a perfect fit for a team like the Dallas Cowboys at No.
