Strengths

To some Matt Ryan is the top QB in the draft, mostly due to the leadership qualities he brings to the position. Ryan has a strong arm, solid mobility, and unlike most college QB’s can hit his man on the run. He is a leader, knows how to rally his team when down, and will play through any pain or condition thrown at him. His all around build is solid, he is very quick and very athletic. Ryan can create results with ball in hand. Ryan will be a solid QB in the NFL handling the rush, quick on his feet, and strong runner.

Weaknesses

Overall his consistency and accuracy suffer some. Typically his poor decisions lead to picks. Scouts will be a little nervous about his ability to make a solid decision under pressure.

At this time, I think Matt Ryan will win the Heisman (worst case second place)and be either the first or second pick in the first round of the 2008 draft

He's one of the toughest players in football right now and is more mobile than most pocket passers, not to mention a great arm. If BC keeps this up he could win the Heisman

He is a great passer who is very tough and smart. He has huge games and has really defoned himself this year as a top QB
