Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan was asked to give 10-year-old Matt Ryan some advice.

Here’s what he had to say on Wednesday:

“My 10-year-old self, I would probably say enjoy the moment. Some of my favorite memories, whether if it was the kids I grew up with playing on the local teams, football, basketball or baseball, all of those things. They are as good of memories that you can make. Enjoy it. Work hard and do well in school because if you don’t do well in school, you’re not going to have the opportunity to play.”
