Boston College’s 2007 Manning Award Winner & ACC Icon
Matt Ryan, Boston College’s legendary QB from the 2007 season, is a differentiator defined by elite poise, game-winning intensity, and a 62.7% completion rate that led the Eagles to an 11-3 record. His 4,507 passing yards and 31 touchdowns in 2007, capped by a game-winning TD vs. Virginia Tech, showcase his clutch decision-making under pressure. Though retired from the NFL after 15 years (124-109-1 record), Ryan’s personality—calm, resilient, and fiercely competitive—makes him a perfect fit for any team seeking leadership. His injury history is minimal, and his intensity level remains unmatched, offering intangible value beyond stats. Care about Ryan because he redefined Boston College football and became the program’s highest draft pick ever (2008, Rd 1, Pk 3).
