Titans WR Calvin Ridley reaches impressive milestone in Week 18
Little victories, amirite?
NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans will not be participating in the 2024 playoffs this year. For receiver Calvin Ridley, Week 18's game against the Houston Texans did see him reach an impressive milestone.
Ridley eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark on his 65th catch of the season at the start of the fourth quarter.
Calvin Ridley breaks 1,000 yards receiving for three different NFL teams
Tennessee signed Ridley to a four-year, $92 million deal in the offseason with hopes that he could help elevate their offense.
\While things did not go the Titans way at any point during this year's campaign, Ridley did prove himself worth of being a quality No. 2 option for a team that does not have a bonafide No. 1 in the receiver room. Drops plagued Ridley early on in Tennessee, but he settled in as the season progressed. Ridley has now reached 1,000 yards in a season with the Titans, the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Atlanta Falcons as a player for all three clubs.
Ridley became the sixth player in franchise history to accomplish the feat in his first season with the franchise. He joins Bill Groman, Drew Hill, Ernest Givins, A.J. Brown and DeAndre Hopkins.
Tennessee will need to continue to upgrade their skill positions this offseason, but Ridley most certainly has a future role to play.
