In New QB Matt Ryan, Colts Are Getting a ‘Fierce Competitor and Strong Leader’

After weeks of speculation on who the Colts’ starting QB would be in 2022, fans and others finally got the answer when Indy traded a 2023 third-round pick for former Atlanta Falcons’ QB, Matt Ryan.

Ryan, who’s soon to be 37, joins a Colts team that was on the cusp of back-to-back playoff berths before a late-season collapse stifled the team’s promising 2021 season.

For the Colts, it was about finding the right QB that would give the organization a chance to compete for the AFC South, which is what led to the trade for the former league MVP.
