Five current and former Atlanta Falcons who have Hall of Fame potential
By Nick Halden
4. Did Calvin Ridley start his career too late to put together a Hall of Fame resume?
Calvin Ridley is perhaps the most interesting player on this list when it comes to projecting what the remainder of his career will be. Ridley has the talent and offense built around him. He has 3,061-receiving yards already all of which came with Julio Jones as the primary target.
This will be his fourth season in the League, however, he is already twenty-six and has a smaller window to accomplish a Hall-of-Fame career.
This season will tell whether or not he has the potential to put together such a resume. While that may seem a lot to heap on a single season it is a year in which he is expected to be the number one target for the first time in his career and will get the attention of defenders who were focused on Julio Jones.
There is no more hiding or escaping top corners Ridley is the Falcons’ best receiver now and this season will tell us whether or not he is capable of making it all the way to Canton.
