Falcons take Calvin Ridley at No. 26

Former Alabama wide receiver Calvin Ridley says he's ready to answer critics who claim he is too small ahead of the 2018 NFL Draft.

The Atlanta Falcons have just given Matt Ryan another weapon.

With the 26th overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft, the Falcons selected Calvin Ridley, a wide receiver from Alabama.

That adds another playmaker to an already strong offense, and another Alabama wide receiver to a team that already has Julio Jones.

The Falcons were already a playoff team, and now they think they’ve added a player who can make a significant difference, and do so immediately.
