It’s something that was leaked days ago, but it was made official this week. Tom Brady, arguably the best quarterback in NFL history, retired from the game of football on Tuesday after 22-years in the league. Brady had a long NFL career and essentially led every active passing category by the time he retired.
That all changed on Tuesday when Brady retired and the another quarterback rose on the active passing leaderboards. That quarterback is none other than Atlanta Falcons’ Matt Ryan. Entering the season, Ryan was third behind Brady and Pittsburgh Steelers’ Ben Roethlisberger for the most passing yards among active quarterbacks.
