FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) Matt Ryan feels like the last man standing with the Atlanta Falcons, not that it’s a bad thing. Ryan has nobody left from his rookie year of 2008 still with the team. And he’s one of just four starters Jake Matthews, Deion Jones and Grady Jarrett are the others left from the Super Bowl team of 2016. But as much as he misses departed teammates like star receiver Julio Jones, the 36-year-old quarterback takes pride in working with younger players who he says push him to get better.
