Calvin Ridley

Ridley came back from his year-and-a-half absence and proved he can still play, though his lone season with the Jaguars wasn't necessarily a success. He scored eight TDs and had a handful of close-call misses in the end zone, but teammate Christian Kirk was otherwise more productive before suffering a season-ending injury Week 13, and Ridley barely snuck over 1,000 yards in 17 games while finishing with a career-low 55.9 percent catch rate. The Titans, led by new coach Brian Callahan, apparently believe the 2018 first-round pick can get back toward his 1,374-yard peak from 2020 in Atlanta, having signed Ridley to a four-year, $92 million contract with 51 percent of the money guaranteed at signing. There were certainly signs of the old Ridley last year, though his volume was disappointing when Kirk was healthy (6.9 targets per game) and his efficiency then plummeted from 8.7 YPT to 5.9 when he got far more volume (10.0 targets) in Kirk's absence the final six games. His comments after signing suggest Ridley expects to move around the formation more often this year, which could be especially helpful given that he's thin (6-1, 190) and managed just 5.9 YPT against press coverage last year. On the other hand, a move to Tennessee means uncertainty at QB with second-year pro Will Levis and major target competition from WRs DeAndre Hopkins and Tyler Boyd. It's not clear a 29-year-old Ridley is better than a 32-year-old Hopkins, though the latter's presence should at least free up the former to focus on his strengths and take fewer reps against top cornerbacks using press coverage.
