Since the Falcons announced Saturday that former quarterback Matt Ryan would be hired as the team’s newly created President of Football, questions have swirled about who will make final roster and personnel decisions. Ryan addressed those concerns at his introductory press conference Monday, emphasizing that he does not plan to overrule or interfere with the work of the head coach or general manager, instead empowering them to “go out there and do their job.”
