2019 NFL Draft: Top 10 wide receiver prospects, ranked

10. Riley Ridley –– Georgia

Riley Ridley is probably one of the closest examples of a one-and-done player in college football –– which is really only allowed in college basketball.

The reason this is evident is that his production really hit a stride in his junior season, or his last year of college football before declaring for the draft.

In 2018, Ridley set career highs in receptions (43), receiving yards (559) and touchdowns catches (9) while also playing the most games (14) in a single season throughout his Georgia career.

Most have only seen a small sample size of Ridley’s in-game action. That’s because he appeared in an equal number of games during his freshman and sophomore seasons combined than he did as a junior.

Despite the somewhat lack of game action, when Ridley was playing, he displayed strong route running, the ability to find openings in the secondary and perhaps most important, secured the football and was a reliable receiver.

Ridley doesn’t appear to be the kind of wideout that will be a downfield burner or a deep threat. Rather, his game resides mostly on the short to medium passing levels.

While he probably won’t make for a prolific Z type (strong side) receiver, he showcased the ability to be a dependable target.

He should be a good fit for a team that is in the market for a receiver that has good concentration, can adjust to passes and uses strength to his advantage.
