Matt Ryan hasn't played in the NFL since 2022, but what if the ex-Atlanta Falcons' star pursued an NFL comeback? It's certainly worth considering, as after the Colts lost Daniel Jones for the season, it was reported that Indianapolis called up Phillip Rivers, who's seemingly nearing an NFL comeback .

But here's the real kicker, Rivers is nearly four years older than Ryan, as the news dropped on his 44th birthday. Meanwhile, the former NFL MVP is only 40 and played for the Colts two years after Rivers did, but was he so bad in his lone season away from Atlanta that they decided to call Rivers instead?
