The New England Patriots have a chance to win their second straight game when they take on the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
Tennessee has several offensive players the Patriots could use with the team currently rebuilding on that side of the ball. This week’s “Gimme Him” player is none other than Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley.
The Patriots were linked to Ridley throughout free agency, but he ultimately chose to sign with the Titans.
His on-field production has been a tremendous asset for the Titans. He has 22 catches for 326 yards and a touchdown on the season. He is coming off an incredible performance against the Detroit Lions where he hauled in 10 catches for 143 yards.
To be fair, the Patriots’ receivers are still young, and there is a chance they could develop into significant contributors with more time. However, the Patriots could use Ridley right now.
He is a big-play wide receiver who would serve as a tremendous offensive weapon for rookie quarterback Drake Maye. Last season, he racked up 76 receptions for 1,016 yards and eight touchdowns with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Ridley turns 30 years old in December, and so far, he hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down. It’s hard not to feel like he was a missed opportunity for the Patriots. Here’s hoping he doesn’t burn them on Sunday.
