SIAP, out of curiosity I was looking up height stats on Jones (6'3"), Cooper(6'1") and Ridley(6'1") and I noticed that Cooper and Ridley are the same age, both 21. Didn't know this and thought it was interesting considering Cooper is in NFL and Ridley is a freshman.

I think Ridley as a freshman is better than Cooper was when he was a freshman. Coop as a junior was a different story....Everybody in the stadium knew was going to be the target, he was doubled every play, and opponents still couldn't cover him.

Didn't know Ridley's 21, but I do remember something about his senior season being cut short (or maybe cut out altogether?) due to aging out of Florida HS football rules.

We just aren't getting the protection from the offensive line for down field throws.

This is it in a nutshell.

 

[Probius]

If he works his butt off, get's in the weight room, , stays after practice with the QB to work on pass routes, and gives it every single ounce of effort he has in his body, he "might" compare with Amari in about three years. My goodness folks, he had a good game game! A great game! To start Amari comparisons already???? I don't think so...

The comparison is between Calvin Ridley and Amari Cooper in his freshman season, not last year. The comparison is actually quite apt. Calvin has over 1,000 receiving yards heading into the national title game, while Amari had 1,000 yards as a freshman.

Calvin is outstanding, no doubt. But Amari was just one of those super talents that rarely come along. If Calvin continues to work hard and adds a little muscle there's no telling how good he can be though. He gets better every game it seems.

Amazing how we've gone from Julio, to Coop, to Ridley.....at Alabama

As long as they keep Jake clean and not running for his life, he'll torch Clemson.

We have everything a college team needs. With the loss of Foster, adding Mullaney by Kiffin was the move of the off season. He was the last piece, the possession receiver. And the resurgence of Howard gives Coker as good of an arsenal I as any QB, maybe baring 2011.

Well it does help though Ridley is a 21 year old true freshman and not 18-19 older and more mature....still very impressed with him.

I have been looking at different receivers. Ridley reminds of Eric Metcalf with his high step and jukes. He has a long way to go, but has some of the traits of Metcalf the receiver.

Love Ridley and feel he can be just as good as Julio and Coop. Is he eligible for the draft after next year? He turn 23 next season so his 'original' HS would be 3+ years for graduation.

He graduated in 2015. He has two more years.

That's it. The NFL’s policy says players must have been out of high school for three years before they’re draft-eligible. Three years "playing" college football, which would prohibit red shirt sophomores

Red shirt sophomores are draft eligible. Winston and Manziel were both red shirt sophomores when they went to the draft.
