Calvin Ridley sends stern warning to NFL stars after year-long suspension

Jacksonville Jaguars standout and NFL wide receiver Calvin Ridley is imploring his colleagues to stay away from gambling after he served a year-long suspension from the NFL for gambling violations.

Ridley was forced to sit out for the 2022 NFL season after the league sentenced the receiver to a one-year ban after it was revealed that he bet on football games. Investigations indicated that Ridley put bets on NFL games over five days back in November 2021 while he was away from his then-team, the Atlanta Falcons.

The suspension of Ridley served as a benchmark to set the tone for how seriously the NFL will enforce its gambling policies. According to the league rule book, players aren't allowed to gamble or anything regarding the NFL for personal, commercial, or charity uses.
