1. Calvin Ridley

Calvin Ridley may not be considered a ‘youngster’ in your mind anymore, but the fact of the matter is that he’s only 26 years old and has been in the league for three years.

Each year, we’ve seen a steady emergence.

Ridley just finished the 2020 season with 90 receptions for 1,374 yards and nine touchdowns. The result? He was named a second-team All-Pro by The Associated Press and it won’t be the last time we see his name tied to an All-Pro team.

Ridley has a chance to become one of the top-10 wide receivers in the league and he is still taking major steps forward.
