FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan doesn't want to look too far into the future, but the 33-year-old one-time MVP didn't hesitate when asked if he could see himself playing at age 40.
"Yeah, I think so," Ryan told ESPN. "I think, No. 1, I've got a long way to go until I get there. But if you can stay healthy, and you're still playing at a high level and all those things, I don't see why not."
Ryan has been fortunate to have good health through his 11 seasons, missing just two games in 2009 because of turf toe.
