If he were a couple of years younger, Ryan would be in the same conversation as Rodgers and Luck for the no. 2 and 3 spots in this fictions draft. However, he’s 34 and because he started as a rookie, he has a lot more miles on him compared to Rodgers, who spent a few seasons on the bench at the start of his career.

That being said, Ryan won an MVP in 2016 and would have been in the conversation again in 2018 had his team been better. He probably won’t play as many more seasons as Luck, Wilson, or even the slightly older Rodgers, but Ryan would help the Lions to win for at least the next three to five years.
