Quick Hits Atlanta: Falcons Matt Ryan Makes Model Debut and Etro Splashes the Rainbow

Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan Is the New Face of Banana Republic

Just days before he heads to pre-season camp, NFL Superbowl Matt Ryan shows he has another, more fashionable, side to him. The QB, known as Matty Ice, appeared at Banana Republic at Lenox Square Mall to debut the company’s new Rapid Movement Chino pants—a more flexible, and flashier version of the classic men’s trouser (the pants have stretch for easier movement and are water and stain resistant).
