Calvin Ridley is a little more comfortable in Year 2 in Tennessee. And that means he is taking on a newer role this season with his wide receiver group and with the team.

It’s an interesting sign that Ward is talking up Ridley’s leadership abilities, as the wideout was never really known for that in previous stops. Ridley was an exciting weapon for the Atlanta Falcons early in his career, with his pinnacle coming during a Second-Team All-Pro campaign in 2020 that saw him catch 90 balls for 1,374 yards and nine TDs.
