Ryan, a seasoned player with an impressive track record, made a name for himself during his tenure with the New England Patriots.
Drafted in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft out of Rutgers, he contributed significantly to the Patriots success, aiding in the franchise’s capture of two Super Bowl titles during his four seasons with the team.

Ryan, who’s played in 16 playoff games, including two Super Bowl appearances, brings plenty of big-game experience to San Francisco.
Following his tenure with the Patriots, he played two seasons with the Titans and then two with the Giants before heading to Tampa.
Known for his versatility, Ryan has demonstrated the ability to play across the entire secondary … While originally drafted as a corner, he has transitioned to playing safety in recent seasons, showcasing his adaptability.
His arrival in San Francisco could prove crucial in providing depth in the secondary, especially in the wake of recent injuries to Talanoa Hufanga and George Odum.
