In 2013, Logan Ryan joined the NFL as a third-round pick by the New England Patriots with whom he went on to win two Super Bowls in his four seasons. He then joined the Tennessee Titans in 2017, where he played his final season with the team by completing an incredible interception to his former Patriots teammate Tom Brady in 2019. He then went on to play for other NFL teams, including the New York Giants, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and San Francisco 49ers. 

After playing in the NFL for 11 seasons, Logan Ryan has finally announced his retirement from football. The 33-year-old is leaving the league after recording 755 total tackles, 13.0 sacks, 19 interceptions, and one touchdown. As he prepares to welcome his retirement phase, he discloses how he felt under his first coach, Bill Belichick, when he first joined the NFL.

Logan Ryan lauds Bill Belichick’s simplicity in explaining football

In a recent YouTube episode on All Facts No Brakes with Keyshawn Johnson, former Patriots’ DB Logan Ryan opened up about spending four seasons under coach Bill Belichick after announcing his retirement from the NFL. When Johnson asked him what it was like playing for the 6x SB champion coach, he said, “He is so smart in a way to simplify the game for us.” According to him, Belichick’s power lies in how he asks his players to focus on their main roles without letting another offense get in the rhythm. He added, “I thought he was a genius in the simplicity of explaining that.”

Logan Ryan not only played together with NFL GOAT Tom Brady in New England. But after he left the Patriots to join the Titans, he would later on earn popularity for intercepting the GOAT’s last throw as a Patriot in the 2019 postseason. Ryan snubbed the Patriots’ chance to make it to the playoffs with an interception by running into the end zone for a Pick-6 win with a 14-13 record over his former franchise. And as destiny would have it, the two players again reunited when Ryan joined the Bucs in 2022. 

Logan Ryan is open about his admiration for Tom Brady

To intercept a throw from your huge idol surely is something to celebrate about. For Logan Ryan, Tom Brady is his role model, whom he lauded in his retirement announcement during his appearance on The Heard with Colin Cowherd. He compared the NFL GOAT to the NBA legend Michael Jordan, saying, “I would say Tom Brady is the Michael Jordan of football.”

Ryan went on to praise Brady’s influential leadership and work ethic, saying, “I love Tom Brady. I just saw greatness everyday. It’s like playing with Jordan. He set the tone every practice with his work ethic, and I just studied it.” The retired DB also credits his success to Brady, as is seen from his statement, “Brady’s leadership style, man, he’s taught me a lot. So much, I can never really repay him for it.” Now that both Ryan and Brady are retired NFL stars, we hope they both find the same type of success in their post-retirement life.
