Calvin Ridley is one of the best receivers in the country and is bound to be a first-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.

Through the opening half of Monday's national championship contest, however, the Alabama star wasn't even the best member of his family on the field, as his younger brother, Riley, has already put up the best performance of his career for Georgia.

Despite entering the game with only eight catches on the season, Riley snagged four passes for 62 yards in the opening half, helping to stake the Bulldogs to a 13-0 lead at the break.

Calvin was bogged down by the struggling Alabama passing attack in the opening 30 minutes, catching just one pass for nine yards. The Crimson Tide as a team only produced 21 yards through the air in the first half.
