"I am confident those same qualities will be a tremendous benefit to our organization as he steps into this new role. From his playing days to his time as an analyst at CBS, Matt has always been a student of the game, and he brings an astute understanding of today's NFL, as well as unique knowledge of our organization and this market. I have full confidence and trust in Matt as we strive to deliver a championship caliber team for Atlanta and Falcons fans everywhere."
"Ryan, who was drafted third overall in the 2008 NFL Draft by the Falcons, went on to become one of the greatest players in team history and one of the best quarterbacks of his era. He finished his career in Atlanta after the 2021 season when the team traded him to the Colts, and by that time Ryan had the franchise's lone MVP award, every major franchise record, and top ten all-time in passing yards and touchdowns NFL-wide."
The Atlanta Falcons hired Matt Ryan as president of football, a newly created position to oversee the front office and coaching staff. He will immediately assume the role and is expected to be a key part of selecting the team's general manager and head coach, with interviews already requested for both positions. Owner Arthur Blank pointed to Ryan's 14-year Falcons career, leadership, attention to detail, knowledge of the game and unrelenting drive as evidence Ryan can help deliver a championship-caliber team. Ryan won the franchise MVP, holds major team records, and ranks in the NFL top ten all-time in passing yards and touchdowns.
