The Falcons surprised Matt Ryan with news he'd made the team's Ring of Honor in such a cool way
The Atlanta Falcons found an awesome way to break the news to Matt Ryan that he’d been inducted in the franchise’s Ring of Honor.
Falcons coach Raheem Morris staged a clever ruse to invite Ryan to speak to the team about what it means to be a Falcon this week, which he did in elaborate detail.
After Ryan’s talk, Morris shared the exciting news with the retired quarterback as the room got up and applauded perhaps the best player to ever sport a Falcons uniform.
This was such a cool moment for Ryan and the Falcons, as he’ll now be enshrined in the team’s history permanently.
