Everyone had their opinions on Calvin Ridley after it became public knowledge that he was being suspended for gambling on NFL games. But few stances were as strong, or possibly accusatory, as Emmanuel Acho's.

Acho, in a since-deleted tweet, wrote about Ridley possibly affecting games while he was playing and included a video with the tweet that we captured via screenshot before it was deleted.

The video used in the now-deleted tweet features a few clips of plays in which some may question Ridley's effort.

Multiple clips are from the 2020 season, including a game against the Chiefs in which Ridley had five catches for 130 yards.

While it is undetermined why Acho decided to delete the tweet, a quick glance at the comments from when it was available would lead you to believe that he was uncomfortable with the reaction his stance was getting.
