If they go with Ryan, the Falcons legend will know the ins and outs of this organization.
Atlanta selected Ryan with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft out of Boston College.
The quarterback still holds franchise records for passing yards, completions and touchdown passes. He won the Most Valuable Player Award in 2016 and led the Falcons to the Super Bowl.
Ryan’s career in Atlanta ended when the team traded him to the Colts in 2022. He played one season in Indianapolis before signing a one-day contract to retire with the Falcons.
