Matt Ryan was the 3rd pick overall in the draft this season.

Here are 2 more facts that he is number 3 in…

He is 3rd in BC history with 9,313 career passing yards (behind Doug Flutie and Glenn Foley.)

But even crazier… Ryan is the 3rd player ever that the Falcons have ever drafted from Boston College. You have to go back to 1977 when Atlanta drafted John Maxwell in the 9th round for the last time a Boston College player got drafted by he Falcons. The other player was Mike Esposito who was selected in the 7th round in 1975.
