WTF?? Ridley??

The more I think about this, the more I can see the reasons why.

The older RB's (Taylor and Morris) probably won't return. "the man" KF may be retiring. RB's take a beating during the year. Getting a speedy RB w/ great hands (Vereen) and a bruiser (Ridley) can replace these older (and slower) guys w/ young legs. Factor that in w/ Green-Ellis and Woodhead & I am starting to get it.

Yes, I still wish we had a stud DE.

Mathias Kiwanuka any one? :confused2:

It doesn't tell the whole story but the combine results are fairly interesting.

While Stevan Ridley is not the prospect that Mark Ingram is (there is more to rushing than combine numbers) Ridley's athleticism suggests that maybe he projects to more than just a goal line back.
