Having been drafted in 2020 as a player for the future, Ryan came on a little quicker than the club expected.
So much so that he was rewarded with an AFL debut in 2021.
It was a quiet first game in the loss to St Kilda in round 15, but he got a taste of the top level and will no doubt be better for the run.
The 206cm ruckman showed plenty in his nine VFL appearances, kicking 17 goals while averaging 11 disposals and 16 hit-outs.
Draft history: 2020 NAB AFL Draft 2nd round selection (Richmond) No. 40.
