FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan cooked up something to reward his primary protectors.
Ryan bought his offensive linemen and tight ends Big Green Egg grills and accessories for Christmas. Left guard Andy Levitre posted a locker-room picture of the gift.
"Really cool," Pro Bowl center Alex Mack said. "Just an awesome gift. The appreciation Matt shows us is honoring. He works really hard. And we're doing our job to the best of our ability. For him to thank us is really generous of him.
