Two highly deserving individuals from the Atlanta Falcons will be honored this season as they are inducted into the team’s Ring of Honor. Quarterback Matt Ryan and owner Arthur Blank will become the 13th and 14th members of this prestigious group. Each will be celebrated individually during halftime at early primetime games in the upcoming season.
Matt Ryan’s induction into the Ring of Honor was considered inevitable given his status as widely regarded as the greatest player in franchise history. His early inclusion, shortly after his retirement, reflects his significant impact since being drafted third overall in 2008.
The unexpected but deserving addition of owner Arthur Blank to the Ring of Honor was notable, as active owners are not typically considered for such honors. Blank’s ceremony will take place first during a week three Sunday Night Football game against the Kansas City Chiefs, drawing national attention.
Ryan, in contrast, will be honored during a week five Thursday Night Football matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This ceremony holds added significance due to Ryan’s profound influence both on and off the field throughout his tenure with the Falcons.
These events promise to make the upcoming season even more memorable for the Atlanta Falcons, adding to the excitement surrounding the team.
