Matt Ryan’s rank among NFL’s all-time leaders in passing yardage

Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan will enter the 2019 season as the franchise’s leader in passing yards with 46,720.

Ryan’s total places him sixth among active players and 12th overall on the NFL’s all-time list. He has 4,000 yards passing in each of the last eight seasons, and a similar performance in 2019 will send him past a pair of Hall of Famers (Fran Tarkenton, Warren Moon) into the all-time top 10.

Here's a look at the players ahead of Ryan on the list of career passing yardage.
