About Matt Ryan
American football quarterback Matthew Thomas Ryan, who was born on May 17, 1985, is thought to be worth $75 million. Born in Exton, Pennsylvania, in 1985, Matthew Ryan attended William Penn Charter School in Philadelphia. During his senior year, he served as captain of the baseball, basketball, and football teams.
Ryan was the backup quarterback at Boston College for a year and a half. Ryan played in 10 games, made 5 starts, and started his first bowl game in 2005 when he coached the Eagles to a 27-21 victory over Boise State in the MPC Computers Bowl.
Despite spraining and breaking the same ankle that year, Ryan was selected as BC’s starter for the 2006 campaign and started 11 of the team’s 12 games. He threw 31 touchdown passes in 2007, shattering Doug Flutie’s previous school mark, helping Boston College win its eighth straight bowl game.
Drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the draft
Despite never having taken part in an NFL game, Ryan entered the 2008 NFL Draft and was chosen as the third overall pick by the Atlanta Falcons. He was then offered a six-year, $72 million contract, making him the fourth-highest paid quarterback right away.
Employment in Atlanta
Ryan was designated the Falcons’ starter for the 2008 campaign, and he completed his first NFL pass for a score of 62 yards against the Detroit Lions. Ryan led Atlanta to the playoffs that year and set an NFL rookie playoff record with 26 completions. He went on to become only the second NFL rookie to throw for more than 3,000 yards.
Records and Achievements
The Associated Press named Ryan Offensive Player of the Year and Sporting News Player of the Year in 2008. He holds the franchise records for career passer rating, starting quarterback victories, and season interceptions. In terms of passing attempts, completions, and wins in a season, Ryan set franchise records in 2011. In 2011, Ryan was selected for his first Pro Bowl and threw two touchdown passes in Honolulu.
