ATLANTA (AP) — By NFL standards, Matt Ryan is a senior citizen.
The Atlanta Falcons star turned 35 in May and heads into this most unusual of seasons as the league’s seventh-oldest starting quarterback.
”I guess it's good to be in the top seven of anything in this league," Ryan quipped after practice Wednesday.
Consistency has always been a Ryan trademark — and there’s nothing to indicate much has changed in that regard — but some pundits wonder if the 2016 MVP missed his window of opportunity to capture a championship and truly leave behind a legacy as one of the greatest quarterbacks of his generation.
