Calvin Ridley is the Atlanta Falcons’ No.
Part of the reason is Ridley’s confidence in his own play, something harnessed over the past three years playing alongside Jones with Atlanta.
26 by the Falcons in the 2018 draft, blossomed last season with career highs in targets .
He’s been at the team’s facility rehabbing, working out and going through walkthroughs — essentially everything except practicing — and said he believes “I’m pretty sure I’ll be ready” for the start of Atlanta’s training camp in July.
He used it as motivation and a way to improve just by looking within his own position group.
He believes in his game, in his skill and in his ability to beat defenders.

Calvin has been a really good player here so far,” Smith said.
