Our Falcon offensive player of the year roundtable earlier today predictably featured a heavy dose of Calvin Ridley, who blew past the 1,000 yard mark he set as a personal target over the summer and finished among the league leaders in most marks. With just one more healthy season under his, Ridley will likely own another distinction: One of the best Falcons receivers ever.
Here’s the pretty simple math.
- Today, Ridley is 16th all-time in franchise receiving yards. If he matched this year’s 1,374 yards worth of production in 2021, he’d be 6th, surpassing tight end Jim Mitchell and leaving him behind only Andre Rison, Alfred Jenkins, Terance Mathis, Roddy White, and Julio Jones.
