"Arthur gave me the chance of a lifetime almost twenty years ago, and he's done it again today. While I appreciate the time I had with the Colts and with CBS, I've always been a Falcon. It feels great to be home. I could not be more excited, grateful, or humbled by this new opportunity. I began my career with a singular goal: to do right by the Blank family, the Falcons organization, the City of Atlanta, and especially our fans."
"The Falcons created the position for Ryan, one of the greatest players in franchise history. Ryan originally joined the Falcons as the third overall pick in the 2008 draft. The Boston College product quarterbacked the team through 2021 and made four Pro Bowls. During an MVP-winning season in 2016, Ryan led the Falcons to a Super Bowl bid. After a gut-wrenching loss to the Patriots, the Falcons rebounded to earn a playoff berth again in 2017."
Matt Ryan will serve as the Atlanta Falcons' president of football after the team created the role for him. Ryan joined the Falcons as the third overall pick in the 2008 draft and quarterbacked the team through 2021, earning four Pro Bowl selections. He won NFL MVP in 2016 and led the Falcons to a Super Bowl appearance that season, then helped the team reach the 2017 playoffs. The Falcons have not returned to the postseason since 2017, prompting owner Arthur Blank to fire general manager Terry Fontenot and head coach Raheem Morris. Ryan left his CBS analyst role and beat several executives for the job.
