Matt Ryan was introduced as the Atlanta Falcons president of football on Tuesday morning. Ryan, the former Falcons quarterback, joined team owner Arthur Blank and team president and CEO Greg Beadles for a press conference to explain what the new position entails and lay out his vision in Atlanta as the team experiences a major front office shakeup.
Blank kicked off the presser by speaking directly to Ryan's children who were in the front row, saying their father did something special in Atlanta and he expected history to repeat itself with Ryan in his new role. As for what he thought Ryan would be doing, he told the press, "basically everything between football and grass he is responsible for."
