"We are thrilled to be able to add someone of Ryan's background and football expertise to our organization," George McCaskey said."His accomplishments with the Chiefs speak for themselves and amplified the team's standing as one of the premier franchises in professional sports. We are confident that under his leadership, we will reach our goal of bringing a Super Bowl championship to Chicago.
