Following his time as a Scarlet Knight, Ryan was drafted by the Patriots in the third round of the 2013 draft. He spent four seasons in New England, recording 243 tackles (five for a loss), 41 passes defensed, 13 interceptions, six quarterback hits, four forced fumbles and 2.5 sacks while also helping the team win two Super Bowls.
