Matt Ryan, the greatest player in history of the Falcons, came to grips with the fact that his work in Atlanta and at the $1.5 billion Mercedes-Benz Stadium was done.
Ryan plans to keep his recently built new home and continue his social action in the city, but Monday, after 14 seasons with the Falcons, Ryan was traded to the Indianapolis Colts for a third-round pick in the coming NFL draft.
“It’s always disappointing at first,” Ryan told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in an exclusive interview Tuesday. “That’s a very human reaction. But as you go through it, you understand that those things can happen. When they do, it’s about how you respond and how you react.”
