Matt Ryan: The Atlanta Falcons on Saturday confirmed the appointment of former franchise quarterback Matt Ryan as president of football.
The decision follows the organization’s recent creation of the executive position.
Ryan quickly became the frontrunner once the role was announced.
Team officials said he will take charge of all football-related operations across the franchise.
The position gives Ryan broad authority over roster decisions, competitive direction, and overall football strategy.
He will step away from his role as a CBS Sports analyst to assume the leadership post.
Ryan returns to the organization that drafted him third overall in the 2008 NFL Draft.
He spent more than a decade as the face of the Falcons on the field.
The hire signals a shift toward experienced internal leadership at the highest level of the team’s football structure.
Matt Ryan said he believes the Atlanta Falcons are positioned to move forward on a strong organizational base.
He said the focus will be on reinforcing standards that promote accountability, competitiveness, and sustained winning.
Ryan said establishing clear expectations across the organization will be a central priority.
He noted that a more disciplined and forward-looking approach is needed to drive consistent results.
Ryan said early progress will be important in laying the groundwork for long-term success.
The Falcons confirmed that Ryan’s first major responsibility will be directing the search for a new head coach.
He will also play a leading role in identifying the team’s next general manager.
Those decisions are expected to define the franchise’s football direction in the coming years.
