"His separation quickness and cod is unmatched. But he's not strong and can get knocked off his routes and nullified at the los."
Chattanooga ESPN
Strengths:
Elite quickness and change of direction. A big-time threat after the catch in space. Carries speed to stretch the field and threaten deep. Quality hands and ball skills. Brings a physical mentality despite a rail thin frame.
Weaknesses:
Doesn't explode off the line. Quicker than fast. Struggles to bring it down in traffic. Rail thin and can get bounced around. Doesn't beat the jam.
Overall:
Ridley’s quicker than fast but builds speed on a free release and can threaten over the top. His separation quickness and cod is unmatched. But he's not strong and can get knocked off his routes and nullified at the los.
Regarded as the consensus #1 WR and off his skillset, and he earns that.. but his lack of strength and difficulty catching in traffic could reduce him to just a role player as a pro.
