Sure, Matt Ryan may be gone from the Atlanta Falcons, but that does not mean we shouldn’t keep up with what he is doing with the Indianapolis Colts this season.

We have already covered how he had a crazy 39-yard run against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, and how it is a longer run than Marcus Mariota has had in over six years, but how does it compare to other players around the league?

Matt Ryan has a longer run than 18 other players known for their running ability

Matt Ryan did something that he will almost certainly never do again and that is pull off a 39-yard run that was one step away from being a 75-yard game-winning touchdown run. The dude is 37 years old and is known as a pocket passer, I guess that tells you how awful the Raiders have been this season.

Let’s take a look at which 18 players haven’t had a run further than Matt Ryan this year:

That is simply insane, Matt Ryan has a longer run than fellow quarterbacks Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, and Daniel Jones.

Not to mention, he has longer runs than some notable running backs like Najee Harris, Aaron Jones, Miles Sanders, Joe Mixon, Ezekiel Elliot, Alvin Kamara, and Leonard Fournette. Who would have ever guessed that to come true?

You can also throw in the fact that he now has a run that is longer than Trevor Lawrence, Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, Tua Tagovailoa, Dak Prescott, Aaron Rodgers, and Geno Smith have ever had in their careers.

Those are some legit quarterbacks that you would never expect to be bested by Matt Ryan when it comes to career-long runs. Imagine if Matty Ice could have broken that last tackle as it looked like he could have taken it the distance for a 75-yard score, it would have set Twitter on fire.
