Film study: What’s going on with Bears WR Riley Ridley?

When the Bears selected Riley Ridley in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, many saw him as a potential Day 3 steal.

The Georgia wide receiver was widely expected to be a Day 2 pick and had been praised throughout online draft circles. Once the Bears took him with the No. 126 overall pick, it seemed like they had a potential contributor on their hands.

Fast forward two years, though, and Ridley finds himself battling for a roster spot.

It’s not like Ridley has had much of a chance to prove himself; he has only played in 10 games and seen 11 passes go his way.
