The Indianapolis Colts have raved about the leadership of Matt Ryan, and recently, he shared with the media how he leads exactly.

Since the Indianapolis Colts traded for Matt Ryan, just about everyone connected to the organization has been raving about his accuracy and leadership. Reggie Wayne said he reminds him of Peyton Manning, Mo Alie-Cox compared him to Andrew Luck, and Nyheim Hines said that he’s already willing to run through a brick wall for him.

So what exactly is Matt Ryan doing that’s so respected? Unfortunately, the Colts have seen a lot of different quarterbacks in recent years, what makes Ryan different? Well, after Indy’s first training camp practice on Wednesday, Ryan spoke with the media and explained his leadership style.

When asked how exactly he plans to keep his teammates engaged and sharp, Ryan honestly responded, “Keep a foot up their ass.” He did add a laugh afterward but he seemed rather serious.

Matt Ryan will demand the best of the Colts

This statement echoes some of the things his teammates have said about him. In the spring, Alie-Cox talked about how “demanding” Ryan was, and how it’s become common for the quarterback to randomly quiz the rest of the offense about their alignment, responsibility, and whatnot.

Alie-Cox also talked about how on every play on the field, Ryan is assertive with his pre-snap commands. While this may be a tough standard for some teams or players, it has been greatly appreciated in Indianapolis.

The reason why is that the team is ready to make a serious run towards a Super Bowl. Running back Nyheim Hines recently told the media the team welcomes what Ryan is bringing because the “older guys are getting tired of not winning.”

After last season’s embarrassing Week 18 loss in Jacksonville, it became evident that everyone connected to the Colts was fed up with disappointing finishes. From the fans to the players all the way up to Jim Irsay. One of the big moves made to change course was bringing in Matt Ryan. So far, Ryan has been delivering on expectations.
