The 2017 Panini Donruss set marked a significant moment in modern football card collecting, representing one of the final years of Panini's NFL license before Fanatics took over the market. Donruss remained known for its bold design aesthetic and accessible price point, making it a staple for collectors building sets or pursuing their favorite players during the mid-2010s hobby boom. Matt Ryan's 2017 Donruss card captures the veteran quarterback during a strong period of his career with the Atlanta Falcons. Collectors appreciate Ryan's cards from this era as keepsakes from a meaningful stretch when he led his team to competitive seasons, and his enduring presence in the hobby makes his cardboard appearances consistently sought after by both team collectors and completists alike.
