In the latest episode of Portfolio Players, presented by E*TRADE from Morgan Stanley, two-time Super Bowl champion Logan Ryan joins Front Office Sports Editor-in-Chief Dan Roberts to break down his evolving role from elite athlete to strategic investor.
Ryan unpacks his approach to investing after his pro career and his advice to young athletes, zeroing in on the boom in media rights deals and the ripple effects of superstar-driven value creation across the NFL. He connects the discipline and focus that fueled his on-field success to the mindset required to navigate business and investment opportunities off it.
The conversation spans Ryan’s near-deal to buy into a French soccer club, offering a candid look at the upside and volatility of international sports ownership. He also weighs in on the rise of NIL, voicing strong support for athlete monetization and the broader shift toward equitable compensation in college athletics.
Ryan closes by outlining his conviction in artificial intelligence as a generational opportunity. With early positions in companies like OpenAI, he sees AI not just as a trend, but a cornerstone of his portfolio—and a key sector shaping the future of sports, business, and beyond.
