Don't think i've ever been more excited for a trade/free agent pickup since being a jaguars fan than this guy. He's got the ability to be a real star and he was unreal with a declining Matt Ryan, can only imagine what he will look like with a guy who is on the rise.

I don't rermember if the video was posted on here or somewhere else but I remember seeing a video from training camp last week where Zay Jones ran a route, and then was followed by Ridley doing the same exact route and it was like night and day, he made Zay look like a random off the street with how explosive he was with it. And for what it's worth Zay's no slouch.

It was an undefended drill. Players don't always go full speed in those. Not really as stark a contrast as ppl want to make it out to be. Players sometimes focus on particular technical aspects of the route in those drills as they are being coached up. 

Ridley is def quicker off the line and more sudden out of cuts, so he looks different for good reason, but I doubt that was Zay going all out in that clip. 

Speed and suddenness aside, Zay is a master technician of route running and was among the best in the league at separation last year. He ranked around 12-14th in the league in average separation at point of catch. That is REALLY good for your 3rd WR.
