Ridder didn't make the cut in Daniel Jeremiah's list of top 50 prospects for NFL.com, and ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. has him ranked as the No. 4 quarterback in this class, so the Bearcats alum looks like he'll be fighting to be a Day 2 selection.

Perhaps an impressive combine and pro day performance will help Ridder climb up those boards, and it certainly can't hurt that he posted an excellent time in the 40.
