Report: Desmond Ridder ‘Buzzing in League Circles’

Ridder is soaring up draft boards in recent weeks.

CINCINNATI — ESPN's Jeremy Fowler appeared on SportsCenter this week and described how people around the NFL are gushing about Desmond Ridder.

The quarterback impressed on tape and has been even more impressive during the interview process.

"I talked to a team who interviewed Ridder," Fowler said. "Who said that he had a plan for how he was going to beat out a veteran in a training camp setting and become a starter in this league in Year One. He's got a ton of experience, some questions about his accuracy. But he believes he's addressed some of those concerns throughout the process."

Ridder is the consensus 33rd-overall player in the 2022 NFL Draft and the third-ranked QB. His most popular mock draft home over the past week has been the Saints. New Orleans is selecting him in 28% of mock drafts over that time.
