"As a first round draft pick in 2008, Matt Ryan become one of the greatest Atlanta Falcons ever. He's the sole league MVP in team history, its all-time leading passer in every category that counts, and went to the playoffs far more frequently than any other quarterback the team has had. He's not a lock for it, but Ryan has a case as a Hall of Famer, and came closer than anyone else to piloting Atlanta to their first Super Bowl win."
"After retiring, Ryan had taken up a new career as an analyst and commentator, appearing on podcasts and both announcing games and working pre-game and post-game shows for CBS. It's a big leap from that into a football executive role, but the Falcons are desperate to add a sharp football mind they trust to this organization at the highest level and Ryan fits the bill on both counts."
Matt Ryan is interviewing for a president of football role with the Atlanta Falcons that would give him major influence over team decisions, the front office, and the searches for a general manager and head coach. Greg Beadles is taking on Rich McKay's CEO responsibilities while Ryan would assume football-related duties, directly overseeing the front office and coaching staff and likely additional undefined responsibilities. Ryan built deep credentials as the franchise's all-time leading passer and only league MVP and transitioned after retirement to work as a CBS analyst. He retains a strong relationship with owner Arthur Blank and familiarity with personnel and staff.
