The Atlanta Falcons are set to introduce Matt Ryan as their president of football on Tuesday morning at 11 a.m. ET. The former league MVP is departing from his job as an NFL analyst at CBS to work full time for the franchise that drafted him with the third overall pick in 2008.

The legendary QB is expected to oversee the hiring of Atlanta's new coach and GM after Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot were fired.

Former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan was hired as the team's president of football and will report directly to owner Arthur Blank in a major front office move.

Former Falcons wide receiver Roddy White played with the new Falcons president of football, Matt Ryan, from 2008 to 2015. They clicked immediately, as White posted five consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons from 2008-12 with Ryan delivering the passes.
