In 57 years of existence, nobody will debate that there is a name more synonymous with the Atlanta Falcons than Matt Ryan, and now Michael Penix Jr hopes to leave a similar legacy in Atlanta. Even after retiring, Matty Ice has continued to leave an imprint on the Dirty Birds by giving back to the community and always doing his part to help out around the facility.
Ryan has made it clear that he wants to see the new era of Falcons football succeed, and the rookie quarterback is the direct beneficiary of his mentorship. Penix told the media on Thursday that a lot of his game-day routine has been inspired by his conversations with the four-time Pro Bowler.
