Matt Ryan on his new job: It's been too long since Falcons have made the playoffs

Matt Ryan, the newly appointed president of football operations for the Atlanta Falcons, emphasized the need to return to the playoffs during a recent appearance on CBS' NFL pregame show. Ryan stated that his primary objective is to hire a head coach and general manager capable of leading the team back to postseason success, a feat the Falcons last achieved in 2017 when Ryan was their quarterback. In addition to these key hires, Ryan and his team face the challenge of finding a new quarterback, following significant investments in Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix that have yet to yield the desired results. Ryan's leadership marks a significant step in the Falcons' efforts to rebuild and compete at a higher level.
