Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan did something no other NFL quarterback did last season.
According to a report by ESPN, Ryan was the only quarterback to play every snap of the 2017 season.
Ryan, who played 1,024-straight snaps last season, was one of four non-offensive linemen to play every snap last season along with Cleveland Browns linebackers Christian Kirksey and Joe Schobert and New York Jets linebacker Demario Davis.
In 2016, Ryan’s MVP season, the Falcons quarterback played all but 21 snaps, while Drew Brees, Eli Manning, Kirk Cousins and Matthew Stafford all played every snap, according to Pro Football Focus.
