'''Frank Beall Ryan''' (July 12, 1936 – January 1, 2024) was an American professional [[American football|football]] player who was a [[quarterback]] in the [[National Football League]] (NFL) for the [[Los Angeles Rams]] ([[1958 Los Angeles Rams season|1958]]–[[1961 Los Angeles Rams season|1961]]), [[Cleveland Browns]] ([[1962 Cleveland Browns season|1962]]–[[1968 Cleveland Browns season|1968]]), and [[Washington Redskins]] ([[1969 Washington Redskins season|1969]]–[[1970 Washington Redskins season|1970]]). He played [[college football]] for the [[Rice Owls football|Rice Owls]]. A three-time [[Pro Bowl]] selection with Cleveland, Ryan led the Browns to their most recent [[NFL Championship Game, 1964|National Football League title in 1964]]. He was also a mathematician, serving as a faculty member at [[Case Western Reserve University]] from 1967 to 1974.

==Early years==
Ryan played football while attending [[R. L. Paschal High School]] in [[Fort Worth, Texas]]. He was recruited by college coaches from across the country, including [[Bear Bryant]], and he was admitted to [[Yale University]]. Ryan declared a major in physics at [[Rice University]],<ref name="William Marsh Rice and the Founding of Rice Institute">(which at that time was still called -- until 1960 -- The [[Rice Institute]]) [For more details, see pages 220 and 221 (internally labeled "Chapter 9" and "[page] 197") of [https://archive.org/stream/historyofriceuni00mein#page/n220/mode/1up this archival document]</ref> becoming the first in his family not to go to Yale.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/stroll-memory-lane-brainy-cleveland-browns-quarterback-frank-ryan-article-1.456165?pgno=1|title=A stroll down memory lane with brainy Cleveland Browns quarterback Frank Ryan|author=Hank Gola|date=November 13, 2010|newspaper=[[New York Daily News]]}}</ref> He was unable to establish himself during the course of his [[College football|collegiate career]], splitting time behind [[Center (American football)|center]] with [[King Hill]], who was receiving most of the [[Snap (football)|snaps]].

Given his desire to obtain a Ph.D., Ryan originally decided not to play [[Professional sports|professional]] football after the [[Los Angeles Rams]] chose him in the fifth round of the [[1958 NFL Draft]].  He changed his mind after he was able to enroll at both [[University of California, Los Angeles|UCLA]] and the [[University of California, Berkeley]] in pursuit of an advanced degree. Ryan then transferred back to Rice, where he studied during the off-season.<ref name="newartsci.case.edu">{{cite magazine|url=http://artsci.case.edu/magazine/2012/a-man-of-two-worlds/|title=A Man of Two Worlds|author=Jonas Fortune|date=Fall 2012|magazine=art {{Pipe}} sci magazine}}</ref>

==NFL career==

===Los Angeles Rams===
Ryan spent the first four years of his career primarily in a reserve capacity, making $12,000 per year.<ref name="newartsci.case.edu"/> He did [[Starting lineup|start]] a handful of games in competition with [[Billy Wade (football player)|Billy Wade]] and [[Zeke Bratkowski]]. In [[1961 Los Angeles Rams season|1961]], he and future [[Pro Football Hall of Fame|Hall of Famer]] [[Ollie Matson]] connected on a 96-yard [[touchdown]] [[Reception (American football)|reception]], establishing a new team record. However, after sitting on the bench for the last four games of the 1961 season, Ryan stormed into the dressing room and threatened General Manager [[Elroy Hirsch]] that he was going to quit football if he were not traded. He became part of a multi-player deal with the [[Cleveland Browns]] on July 12, 1962, his 26th birthday, as the arrival of highly touted newcomer [[Roman Gabriel]] made Ryan expendable.

===Cleveland Browns===

====1962–1963====
Acquired to back up starting [[quarterback]] [[Jim Ninowski]], Ryan moved into the starting slot on October 28 when Ninowski broke his [[collarbone]] while being [[Tackle (football move)|tackled]] by [[Pittsburgh Steelers]]' [[defensive lineman]] [[Eugene Lipscomb|Eugene "Big Daddy" Lipscomb]].  With no other candidates to compete with, Ryan established his leadership and held on to the starting role for much of the next six seasons.  In his first full season as a starter, [[1963 Cleveland Browns season|1963]], Ryan threw for 2,026 yards and 25 touchdowns with only 13 [[interception]]s, helping the Browns to a 10–4 record.  Thirteen of those touchdowns went to [[Gary Collins (American football)|Gary Collins]], who tied for the league lead in receiving touchdowns that year.

====1964====
In [[1964 Cleveland Browns season|1964]], Ryan established himself as one of the league's best passers.  He threw for 2,404 yards and repeated his 1963 performance by completing 25 touchdown passes, which was enough to lead the league.  Ryan had excellent company on the Browns offense: [[Fullback (American football)|fullback]] [[Jim Brown]]; [[wide receiver]]s [[Gary Collins (American football)|Gary Collins]] and [[Paul Warfield]]; and an outstanding [[offensive line]] which included [[Dick Schafrath]], [[John Morrow (American football)|John Morrow]], [[John Wooten]], [[Monte Clark]], and future Hall of Famer [[Gene Hickerson]].  But Ryan was also a clutch performer during the Browns' memorable 10–3–1 season.  Needing a win in the December 12 regular season finale against the [[New York Giants]] to clinch a berth in the NFL title game, Ryan completed 12 of 13 passes for five touchdowns and ran for a sixth touchdown in the 52–20 win.  Two weeks later in the championship game against the [[History of the Indianapolis Colts|Baltimore Colts]], Ryan hit Collins for three touchdowns to win the title, 27–0.

Ryan was rewarded for his performance with the first of three straight [[Pro Bowl]] appearances.  Unfortunately, on the first play of the second half, he suffered a severe shoulder injury in the game after the combined 800-pound trio of [[Green Bay Packers|Packer]] [[Willie Davis (defensive end)|Willie Davis]], [[Detroit Lions|Lion]] [[Roger Brown (defensive tackle)|Roger Brown]] and [[History of the Indianapolis Colts|Colt]] [[Gino Marchetti]] converged on the signal caller.  Speculation persists to this day that Marchetti went out of his way to injure Ryan due to the perception that the quarterback [[Running up the score|ran up the score]] in the championship, with Marchetti's statement that he wanted "one more shot" at Ryan also fueling the rumors.  However, a study of the film by Cleveland coaches in the weeks after the game exonerated Marchetti.

After winning the championship, Art Modell raised his salary to $25,000, up from about $18,000 per season.<ref name="newartsci.case.edu"/>

====1965====
Ryan's numbers dropped in [[1965 Cleveland Browns season|1965]], throwing for only 1,751 yards and 18 touchdowns.  While his shoulder had completely healed, a sore [[elbow]] in [[National Football League Training Camp|training camp]] and an injured [[Arches of the foot|arch]] early in the regular season played a role in his completing fewer than half of his passes during the campaign.  Those struggles resulted in a continuing cool relationship with Browns' fans, who booed him often during home contests.  Part of Ryan's decline can also be traced to the absence of second-year wide receiver Paul Warfield, who missed much of the season after suffering a double fracture of the collarbone in the team's first exhibition game. Despite this, the Browns reached the [[1965 NFL Championship Game]]. Facing the Packers, he went 8-of-18 for 115 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions in the 23–12 loss.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Championship - Cleveland Browns at Green Bay Packers - January 2nd, 1966 |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/196601020gnb.htm |access-date=2024-01-04 |website=Pro-Football-Reference.com |language=en}}</ref>

====1966====
In [[1966 Cleveland Browns season|1966]], he bounced back with a superb season, leading the league with 29 touchdown passes and finishing second with 2,976 yards despite playing with intense pain.  Ryan's output helped alleviate the absence of the legendary Jim Brown, who had retired prior to the start of training camp. His 29 touchdown passes in 14 games ranks second in Browns franchise history to [[Brian Sipe]], who got 30 in a 16-game 1980 season.<ref name="cleveland.com">{{cite news|url=http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2013/09/former_cleveland_browns_qb_fra.html|title=Former Cleveland Browns QB Frank Ryan marvels at CWRU, cautions about "vicious" NFL|author= Tim Warsinskey|date=September 28, 2013|newspaper=[[Cleveland Plain Dealer]]}}</ref>

====1967====
On January 25, 1967, Ryan underwent an operation to repair the remaining effects of his injury.  The surgery eliminated the pain, but also affected his throwing motion.  In the [[1967 Cleveland Browns season|1967 season]] opener, Ryan's injury woes continued as he sprained both ankles in a 21–14 loss to the [[Dallas Cowboys]].  Battling through that malady, along with shoulder and knee troubles, Ryan led the team to a 9–5 record to reach the [[NFL playoffs, 1967|playoffs]]. The season would see Ryan suffering a concussion from a head-to-head collision with [[Dick Butkus]]. He was knocked out in the second-quarter but came back to throw three touchdown passes in the third quarter to will his team to a 24–0 victory. Ryan credits this collision with the cervical disc replacement he underwent after retiring.

====1968====
Ryan's tenure as the Browns' starting quarterback came to an abrupt end following a 1–2 start to the [[1968 Cleveland Browns season|1968 season]].  Browns' [[head coach]] [[Blanton Collier]] replaced Ryan with [[Bill Nelsen]], who went on to lead the team to a division title.  The official conclusion of Ryan's time with the Browns came on September 9, 1969, when he was released, but new Redskins' coach [[Vince Lombardi]] quickly signed Ryan as a backup.

===Washington Redskins===
Despite throwing only one pass during the [[1969 Washington Redskins season|1969 season]], Ryan returned for the last of his 13 years in the NFL in [[1970 Washington Redskins season|1970]] before officially announcing his retirement on April 13, 1971. With his accurate throwing arm, his 14.7 yards per completion still ranks as one of the all-time leaders.<ref name="cleveland.com"/>

==Academic career==
Ryan attended graduate school during the first part of his playing career, and in 1965, he earned his Ph.D. from Rice.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/id.php?id=43254|title=Frank Ryan – The Mathematics Genealogy Project|website=genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu|access-date=2019-05-29}}</ref> He worked for seven postgraduate years under G. R. MacLane, a leading [[Geometric function theory|geometric-function theorist]], and produced the dissertation  "Characterization of the Set of [[Asymptotic]] Values of a [[holomorphic function|Function Holomorphic]] in the [[Unit Disc]]".<ref name="newartsci.case.edu"/> In 1966, Ryan published two fundamental papers on the set of asymptotic values of a function holomorphic in the unit disc in Duke Mathematical Journal.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mihai-caragiu-maths.blogspot.com/2010/02/phd-mathematician-and-nfl-champion.html|title=Ph.D. mathematician and NFL champion|author=Mihai Caragiu|date=February 16, 2010}}</ref>

Ryan received the Golden Plate Award of the [[Academy of Achievement|American Academy of Achievement]] in 1965.<ref>{{cite web|title= Golden Plate Awardees of the American Academy of Achievement |website=www.achievement.org|publisher=[[American Academy of Achievement]]|url= https://achievement.org/our-history/golden-plate-awards/#sports}}</ref>

Ryan started teaching at Rice during his career and, during his time with the Browns, he became an assistant professor at the [[Case Institute of Technology]] in February 1967. Ryan had a full teaching load,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://rjlipton.wordpress.com/2010/03/18/the-quarterback-and-the-professor/|title=The Quarterback and the Professor|date=March 18, 2010|author=Dick Lipton}}</ref> which includes undergraduate and graduate courses, and conducting research in [[complex analysis]].<ref name="Plain-dealer">{{cite news|title=Quarterback had brains, but game still smarted|last=Dolgan|first=Bob|date=September 12, 2004|newspaper=Cleveland Plain Dealer|pages=S22}}</ref><ref name="MR">Mathematical Reviews profile, Author ID=530280</ref> While at training camp, Ryan taught math in the morning and went to football practice in the afternoon.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.mytownneo.com/article/20121219/SPORTS/312199444|title=Teacher dons No. 13 jersey in honor of Frank Ryan|author=Mike Lesko|date=December 19, 2012|newspaper=Aurora Advocate}}</ref> Ryan taught his last course at Case Western Reserve in the spring of 1971. He was promoted to associate professor that summer. After taking a leave of absence for the next three years, he resigned his faculty position in 1974.

Ryan learned computer programming and software through the Chi Corp., Case Western Reserve's then newly launched private computer company. He compiled advanced statistics to apply what he learned to football. The Browns were shown his results and liked the project but didn't offer the extra cash to move it forward.<ref name="newartsci.case.edu"/>

Ryan's second career was fodder for many jokes by [[Sports journalism|sportswriter]]s.  [[Red Smith (sportswriter)|Red Smith]] wrote that the Browns' offense consisted of a quarterback who understood [[Albert Einstein|Einstein's]] [[theory of relativity]] and ten teammates who didn't know there was one.  Ryan was somewhat put off by the focus on his academic life, as he considered himself to be a regular football player.

Ryan considered Sir [[Edward Collingwood]], an expert in meromorphic function and the theory of cluster sets, and [[Arthur J. Lohwater]], the former editor of ''Mathematical Reviews'', as mentors.<ref name="sportsonearth.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/52213510|title=Ryan's Search|author=Peter Richmond|date=July 3, 2013|website=Sports On Earth}}</ref> Ryan had an [[Erdős number]] of 3.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://mathscinet.ams.org/mathscinet/collaborationDistance.html|title = MR: Collaboration Distance}}</ref>

==Post-NFL career==
Soon after his retirement from the Redskins, Ryan remained in the [[Washington, D.C.|nation's capital]] when he was named director of information services for the [[U.S. House of Representatives]]. While there, he helped advance the computer age in politics by playing an integral role in establishing the body's first electronic voting system. This enabled voting procedures that usually ran for 45 minutes to be shortened to around 15 minutes. By the time he left the post, the office had an annual budget of $8 million with a staff of 225.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2209&dat=19770719&id=UI1jAAAAIBAJ&pg=7179,3127185|title=Frank Ryan Calling Plays At Yale?|date=July 19, 1977|newspaper=[[Nashua Telegraph]]}}</ref>

Ryan resigned that post to become [[athletic director]] and lecturer in mathematics at [[Yale University]] on March 7, 1977. Ryan served in that position for ten years before resigning to become the school's associate vice president for institutional planning.

Ryan was a member of the Rice board of governors from 1972 to 1976 and was recognized as a distinguished alumnus in 1987. Ryan became vice president for external affairs at Rice in August 1990, increasing annual gifts to the university to a three-year average of $32.8 million for the fiscal years 1992–94 from $21.4 million for the fiscal years 1988–90. In 1995, he resigned his post as vice president for external affairs at Rice, owing to differences with President Malcolm Gillis concerning the future course of external affairs. Ryan ended his institutional career as a professor of [[mathematics]], and professor of [[computational mathematics|computational]] and [[applied mathematics]] at Rice.<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://news.rice.edu/1995/02/15/frank-ryan-resigns-as-vp-for-external-affairs-at-rice/|title=Frank Ryan Resigns as VP for External Affairs at Rice|date=February 15, 1995}}</ref>

Ryan was president and chief executive officer of Contex Electronics, which designed and manufactured cable and interconnect products for the computer and communications industries. Ryan also served as director for [[America West Airlines]], [[Sequoia Voting Systems]],<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Frank+Ryan+named+to+board+of+directors+of+Sequoia+Systems+Inc.-a018100847|title=Frank Ryan named to board of directors of Sequoia Systems Inc.|date=March 18, 1996}}</ref> and of Danielson Holding Corporation. He was an advisory director of United Medical Care Inc.

In retirement, he ran a self-designed program that helps micro-analyze statistical behavior of the up-and-down pricing movement that underlies the pricing behavior of the futures market. He also worked on [[Oppermann's conjecture]] about the distribution of [[prime numbers]].<ref name="newartsci.case.edu"/>

==Personal life==
Ryan lived on 78 acres of heavily forested land<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.si.com/vault/2000/04/10/278131/frank-ryan-intellectual-quarterback-january-4-1965|title=Frank Ryan, Intellectual Quarterback January 4, 1965|author=Richard Deitsch|date=April 20, 2000|magazine=[[Sports Illustrated]]}}</ref> in [[Grafton, Vermont]], with his wife, Joan, a retired sportswriter and nationally syndicated columnist for ''[[The Washington Post]]''.<ref name="newartsci.case.edu"/> His wife was one of the first female sportswriters to ever grace a locker room (not to be confused with another sportswriter named Joan Ryan)<ref>{{cite web|author=Megan Schneider|publisher=[[Shirley Povich]] Center|url=http://povichcenter.org/still-no-cheering-press-box/chapter/Joan-Ryan/intro.html|title=About Joan Ryan}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=Joan Ryan|publisher=Shirley Povich Center|url=http://povichcenter.org/still-no-cheering-press-box/chapter/Joan-Ryan/index.html|title=Joan Ryan... in her own words}}</ref> and also wrote a book on women in sports. The two Texans met in college, fell in love with Vermont while Ryan was on staff at Yale, and had been married since their senior year at Rice.<ref name="sportsonearth.com"/>

Ryan died from complications of [[Alzheimer's disease]] at a nursing home, in [[Waterford, Connecticut]], on January 1, 2024. He was 87.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cleveland.com/browns/2024/01/frank-ryan-passes-away-at-the-age-of-87-last-browns-qb-to-win-a-title-terry-pluto.html|title=Frank Ryan passes away at the age of 87, last Browns QB to win a title|author=Terry Pluto|publisher=Cleveland.com|accessdate=January 2, 2024|date=January 2, 2024}}</ref>

==NFL career statistics==
Ryan ranks fourth all-time among Browns quarterbacks with 13,499 passing yards and second behind [[Brian Sipe]] with 134 touchdowns. His 81.43 [[passer rating]] is fifth-best, behind [[Milt Plum]], [[Baker Mayfield]], [[Otto Graham]], and [[Bernie Kosar]].

Ryan's career numbers (including years with the Rams and Redskins) were 1,090 completions in 2,133 attempts for 16,044 yards, 149 touchdowns and 111 interceptions. Ryan also rushed for 1,358 yards and six touchdowns on 310 carries.
