The Alpha Effect: the potential impact of Calvin Ridley on Trevor Lawrence’s performance

As the Jacksonville Jaguars entered the 2023 offseason, its wide receiver room was perhaps the most contentiously debated position group among fans.

It is true that free agency acquisition Christian Kirk was a solid enough WR1 last season, ranking 13th in yards and 8th in touchdowns among all receivers, but he is not (yet) quite at the level that most fans and analysts would call “elite.” Additionally, while Zay Jones proved he was more than worth his three-year, $24 million contract, he too falls short of that top talent tier.

While our fortified passing offense made monumental strides last season from a historically awful 2021 season, we still ranked behind other top passing attacks in the AFC.
