There is a wide spectrum of "return to football" stories out there. They are all different.
Ridley is allowed to have his own comeback and it doesn't have to be just like any prior example we can dig up here.

I'm cautiously optimistic based on the limited info we have.

 Plaxico was also in his 11th year in the league at a time and was not a good route runner or speed guy before he shot himself.  Calvin Ridley on the other hand, is great at running routes and short area quickness as well which will help him transition back to the NFL.  Most importantly, we have Doug Peterson as a head coach who knows how to get the best out of his personnel just like Andy Reid.
