Sportscasting career

Ryan has been commenting NFL games since 2002. For 12 years, he served as a color analyst for

Sirius NFL Radio (Channel 88), hosting "Movin' the Chains" from 3-7pm with Pat Kirwan and doing analysis for San Francisco 49ers preseason games. He is a regular contributor to KGMZ
radio ("95.7 The Game") in the Bay Area.`

It was announced by Pat Kirwan during the September 2, 2013 broadcast of "Movin' the Chains" on SiriusXM radio that Ryan had accepted an enhanced opportunity with FOX Sports and would not be returning to "Movin' the Chains". His hosting duties in that show were assumed by Jim Miller, former NFL quarterback for the Chicago Bears.

In January 2014 it was announced that Ryan was leaving FOX Sports to replace Eric Davis as color analyst for the San Francisco 49ers radio network. Since the onset of the 49ers 2019 season, Ryan has teamed up with play-by-play announcer Greg Papa on radio broadcasts. In December 2019, Ryan was suspended as the 49ers' color analyst due to a controversial comment made on the Murph and Mac show on KNBR Radio about Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson's success at faking hand-offs due to his dark skin and the dark color of the football, and the dark color of his uniform.[3]
