    Calvin Ridley will be reunited with Steve Sarkisian.

    The 6-foot-1, 189-pound receiver was selected by Atlanta with the 26th pick of the first round during the NFL Draft on Thursday.

    Sarkisian, the Falcons' offensive coordinator, served in that same role for Alabama during the 2017 national championship game loss to Clemson.

    With Sarkisian calling plays and former Alabama star wideout Julio Jones working alongside him in a dome -- Mercedes-Benz Stadium -- where he played his last game with the Crimson Tide, Ridley should feel at home.

    Ridley was the second wideout taken in the first round after Maryland's D.J. Moore was selected by Carolina two picks before the Alabama receiver went off the board.
