On Halloween, Calvin Ridley, the star wide receiver for the Atlanta Falcons, announced he is stepping away from football to focus on his mental wellbeing.
See the original tweet below.
This is Ridley’s fourth year with the Falcons, and he elevated from the #2 receiver to the #1 receiver this year after Julio Jones was traded to the Tennessee Titans.
