Ryan told 3DownNation, “I mean, you’ve got to hang them up eventually, I tried to drag this out forever but Father Time finally got me after 19 years.” “Right now I look back and it seems like all a dream, to be honest with you. 19 years went bye-bye in the snap of a finger, really,” an emotional Ryan said.

“Obviously looking back at those 10 years in Seattle and all those playoff teams and the Super Bowls and all that, that’s one of the better memories of playing pro football.
