My Take
Desmond Ridder interests me as a hometown-to-pro story done the unglamorous way: a Louisville kid who stayed local through high school and the University of Cincinnati, twice earning conference offensive player of the year before the Falcons drafted him. Quarterback is the most scrutinized seat in American sport, where every snap invites praise or blame, and that crucible reveals character fast. Born in 1999, he is still early enough that his real measure is unwritten. I have a soft spot for young talent grinding through the rough patches, and I am quietly curious to see how much resolve he shows.
