NFL fans intrigued to see Matt Ryan in broadcasting booth next season -“He's got some spice in him”

Last week, CBS Sports announced that former NFL quarterback Matt Ryan would be joining the broadcast team in the fall. The 38-year-old, who played for the Indianapolis Colts last season, will work in the studio as an analyst as well as in the broadcast booth.

Ryan is the latest NFL star to transition from a player to a broadcaster. Quarterback Tom Brady is expected to do so next season with FOX Sports.

NFL fans though seem quite excited that Ryan will now be an analyst and broadcaster. With comments on both Reddit and Twitter, the majority of fans stated their belief that his knowledge of the game will be a good addition to the telecast.

Some also said that his personality and experience will be the fans' favorite aspect during broadcasts.

There were plenty of jokes also about Matt Ryan's infamous Super Bowl performance and references to 28-3.

Most fans were happy for the quarterback to begin this new chapter in his career. He will join fellow former NFL quarterbacks Phil Simms and Boomer Esiason in the studio. No word yet on who will be the play-by-play announcer alongside him in the booth.

Matt Ryan sets record straight on retirement

Matt Ryan with Colts

Quarterback Matt Ryan announced on his official Twitter page that he was hired by CBS Sports. The former Atlanta Falcons and Indianapolis Colts quarterback said that he was excited to work with the network and that he was really looking forward to talking about the game.

He then added a message at the end of his Twitter caption that made it clear that this wasn't his way of retiring.

"Excited to join the @NFLonCBS family! Looking forward to breaking down the game this season. P.S. - this is not a retirement post."

The quarterback was released by the Indianapolis Colts earlier this offseason. The Colts traded for the quarterback last summer after he played 14 seasons with the Atlanta Falcons.

While he hasn't signed with another NFL team this offseason, many NFL fans believe that this was the next part of his career. But, it appears that he hasn't fully given up on his ability to play in the National Football League as of yet. And, it appears that if the doors open with an opportunity in the NFL, he may just jump at the chance to suit up once again.

This may indicate that he has a clause in his contract with CBS Sports that he could leave for the NFL if need be.
