🏈 WATCH: Irritated Alabama WR Calvin Ridley shuts down reporter’s question about Jalen Hurts after Sugar Bowl

Calvin Ridley seemed to be channeling his inner Herm Edwards in the moments after the Crimson Tide’s College Football Playoff victory on Monday night.

Instead of Edwards’ classic “You play to win the game” refrain, the talented Alabama WR opted for a similar theme when faced with a question he clearly did not want to answer after beating Clemson in the Sugar Bowl to advance to the national title game.

Ridley began his locker room media availability with a question about the progression of Alabama QB Jalen Hurts, who has quarterbacked the team to back-to-back national title game appearances in his first two years on campus while battling through constant critique of his passing skills.

“We won the game,” Ridley said, clearly annoyed by the line of questioning. “We won the game today. We’re happy right now. We just want to enjoy it right now.”

To be fair to the reporter he shut down, Riley did not appear to be all that happy in that moment. Prior to fielding questions, he can be seen trying to shake someone off a phone call and his answers to the questions that followed were not exactly jovial.

Seemed he was on the phone with family. I wonder given the earlier UGA victory if his phone was blowing up with family members going crazy. Could be a hectic week for him coming up.

Couldn't hear exactly what the question was.
