But as the NFL begins its release of its Top 100 players of 2018, Matt Ryan’s name appeared on day three. Unlike the draft, this is a moment where players want it to be a while before their name is called.
So what was he ranked? Number 69.
That there were 68 players better than him last year is rather laughable. So let’s tick through the numbers for just a second.
In his MVP season, Ryan threw for 4,944 yards, 38 touchdowns, and just seven interceptions. That was in 2016-17, when he also led the team to the Super Bowl.
