According to Vegas oddsmakers, Calvin Ridley is a 12/1 favorite to win the Heisman. Alabama fans know Ridley has all the skills needed to win the Heisman.
This hype video displays Ridley’s freakish abilities, and shows why he had fans on the edge of their seats season.
He may be a dark horse candidate for the Heisman, but after watching that video it is certain that he is worthy of being mentioned in the conversation.
Former Alabama receiver Amari Cooper told ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless on First Take that Ridley was “probably better” than he was as a freshman. Cooper went on to say that Ridley is one of the best receivers in college football.
During his freshman campaign, Ridley led all SEC receivers in receptions, finishing with 89 catches for 1,045 yards and seven touchdowns. Look for the Florida native to improve on these already amazing numbers in 2016.
