Calvin Ridley knows a thing or 2 about what it takes to succeed as a wide receiver at Alabama.
He is 1 of 8 wide receivers drafted in Round 1 of the NFL Draft since Nick Saban took over the Crimson Tide program in 2007. He compiled 224 catches for 2,781 yards and 19 touchdowns (as well as 1 rushing touchdown) during his Alabama career.
So who does he think are the top 4 receivers all time at Alabama? The new Jacksonville Jaguars receiver named his Mount Rushmore of Alabama wide outs:

His Mount Rushmore of the best Alabama receivers of all-time ended up looking like this:
- Julio Jones
- DeVonta Smith
- Amari Cooper
- Jerry Jeudy
It’s never easy to pick just 4 when you have a group as deep as Alabama’s receivers. Ridley didn’t even list himself, even though he certainly has a case.
Jaylen Waddle, Jameson Williams, Henry Ruggs III, John Metchie and others have also had impressive seasons under Nick Saban at Alabama.
