How will the Julio Jones trade affect Calvin Ridley?
The players presented as possible answers were the Green Bay Packers Davante Adams, Tennessee Titans A.J. Brown, Buffalo Bills Stefon Diggs, Kansas City Chiefs Tyreek Hill, Arizona Cardinals DeAndre Hopkins, Minnesota Vikings Justin Jefferson, Atlanta Falcons Julio Jones and Seattle Seahawks DK Metcalf. On Monday, Pro Football Focus presented its projection for the player who will lead the NFL in receiving yards in the 2021 season  the Falcons Calvin Ridley with 1,561 (125 more receiving yards than Hill). How did Ridley go from outside the top eight possibilities on May 15 to the No. On Sunday, Atlanta traded Jones to the Titans. Ridley has had a productive three seasons playing with Jones. A pair of first-round draft picks from Alabama, Ridley and Jones rank first and second in the NFL for receptions of 15 or more yards during Ridleys time in the league. Ridley has 67, and Jones has 63. Ridley has 217 receptions for 3,061 yards and 26 touchdowns in his 44 NFL games. Only three other players -- Marques Colston, A.J. Green and Odell Beckham Jr. -- in NFL history have matched those numbers at that point in their careers. Jones had 241 receptions for 3,649 yards and 23 touchdowns in his first 44 NFL games. ALABAMAS TOP 10 NFL RECEIVERS  With the seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver leaving the Falcons lineup, Ridley becomes the No. 1 target for Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan after he completed 833 passes for 12,628 yards and 59 touchdowns to Jones over the past 10 seasons as he became the franchises all-time receiving leader. Theres evidence to suggest that without Jones in the lineup, Ridley will produce stats that could be league-leading. Since Ridley joined the Falcons, Jones has missed eight games. In those eight games, Ridley averaged 11.1 targets, 7.3 receptions, 107 receiving yards and 14.76 yards per catch. In the 36 games he played with Jones, Ridley averaged 6.6 targets, 4.4 receptions, 61.25 yards and 13.87 yards per catch. Ridley joined the Falcons as the 26th player picked in the 2018 NFL Draft. In his first season, Ridley caught 64 passes for 821 yards and set an Atlanta rookie record with 10 touchdown receptions. In 2019, Ridley caught 63 passes for 866 yards and seven touchdowns, but he missed the final three games of the season because of an abdominal injury. Ridley produced 90 receptions for 1,374 yards and nine touchdowns for Atlanta in 2020, even though he missed one game. He finished fifth in the NFL in receiving yards last season. Jones has led the NFL in receiving yards twice with 1,871 yards in 2015 (for the second-highest single-season total in league history) and 1,677 yards in 2018. In exchange for Jones and their sixth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Falcons are getting a second-round choice in the 2022 NFL Draft and a fourth-round choice in the 2023 NFL Draft from the Titans. TENNESSEE TITANS PAIR JULIO JONES, DERRICK HENRY  Atlanta drafted a wide receiver this year, but Arizona States Frank Darby joined the Falcons in the sixth round as their final 2021 selection. But Atlanta used the fourth pick in the 2021 NFL Draft on Floridas Kyle Pitts, the earliest that a tight end has been selected in league history. Over the past two seasons, the 6-foot-6, 246-pound target caught 97 passes for 1,419 yards and 18 touchdowns for the Gators. Atlanta wide receiver Russell Gage caught 72 passes for 786 yards and four touchdowns and tight end Hayden Hurst caught 56 passes for 571 yards and six touchdowns last season, and both players return for the Falcons in 2021.
