In his return to Florida, the University of Alabama alumnus is with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He has vowed to give the organization a 1,400-yard wide receiver and Trevor Lawrence is thrilled to have him. Jacksonville will start training camp soon, but one teammate is singing Ridley’s praises. Jamal Agnew, a fellow receiver, said he feels no one in the league can guard him.

“He’s a mismatch nightmare,” Agnew said about Ridley.
Ridley showed in 2020 with the Atlanta Falcons he was a nightmare for defensive backs. He set career highs for targets (143), receptions (90), and receiving yards (1,374) while having nine touchdowns. Ridley averaged 15.8 yards per catch.
