FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Matt Ryan said Tuesday his focus is on his new teammates and a new season and hes not fretting about the status of his new contract. Cornerback Desmond Trufant, the Falcons first-round pick, made his off-season training activities debut Tuesday after completing his classes at the University of Washington. Ryan said Trufant made a good first impression. Ryan said another newcomer, three-time Pro Bowl running back Steven Jackson, has shown he is a leader in his first off-season with the Falcons. Predictably, Ryan said little about his contract status. General manager Thomas Dimitroff said recently he hopes to have a new deal with Ryan before the season. The quarterbacks six-year, $66 million contract expires after the 2013 season. Ryan said hes confident Dimitroff and his agent, Tom Condon, will reach an agreement. "You know what, I leave that to my agents and the front office," Ryan said. "Those guys will get that stuff done." Condon could not be reached for comment. Ryan is expected join the list of quarterbacks signing milestone long-term deals. Drew Brees, Tony Romo and Joe Flacco have recently signed five- or six-year deals worth at least $100 million. Ryan set career highs with 32 touchdown passes and 4,719 yards passing as he led the Falcons to a 13-3 record in 2012. Atlanta beat Seattle for Ryans first post-season win. The Falcons lost to San Francisco in the NFC championship game. The Falcons hopes of making another run at a Super Bowl berth were boosted by the teams addition of Jackson and the decision by tight end Tony Gonzalez to postpone his retirement plans another year. Jackson leads all active players with 10,135 yards rushing. "Steven Jackson has come in and hes a leader," Ryan said. "Hes fun to play with and fun to work with and hes a guy who really cares. I think thats been good, too. "I think for him its taken a little time to get adjusted, but when he knows what to do hes a really, really good player and hes really smart, too. Hes picked up a lot of stuff really quick. Hes dedicated. Hes one of the few guys who has called me when hes not here and picked my brain about certain stuff that were doing and I think that says a lot about him." Trufants arrival was delayed until he completed his academic work at Washington. Coach Mike Smith said another draft pick, tight end Levine Toio, is expected to complete his spring semester at Stanford on Tuesday and join the Falcons OTAs on Wednesday. Trufant could start as a rookie. "Hes an athletic kid, thats for sure," Ryan said. "He moves pretty well. That was the thing I noticed most of all during one-on-ones." Smith said he has given Trufant and other rookies an overload of information. "Im sure his head is spinning," Smith said. "We want to try to bombard their brains through the off-season. ... Thats always how weve done it. Lets see how they handle all of it at first and not bring them along slowly." Jackson and Trufant are important additions, but Ryan remains the face of the franchise. After five seasons he trails only Steve Bartkowski on the Falcons career lists for yards passing and touchdowns. Bartkowski threw 154 touchdown passes from 1975 to 1985. Ryan, who has 127, could pass the mark in 2013. "Certainly its great to be in the company with Bart," Ryan said. "He obviously was an awesome player in his time, probably the premier quarterback to ever play here in Atlanta. But hes also a great guy and Ive gotten to know him well and hes been very helpful to me in my career thus far. "Its great to be mentioned in that breath but at the same time its not something that you worry about or think about. For me, Im constantly focused on trying to do my job the best I can and if youre constantly worried about statistics and records and all of that it takes away from being able to do the job the best you can." NOTES: Vanderbilt coach James Franklin and his defensive assistants visited Tuesdays practice. Franklin said college and NFL schemes are not as different as in past eras so he can learn from watching the Falcons work under defensive co-ordinator Mike Nolan. ... Among veteran players not attending were Gonzalez, receiver Roddy White and cornerback Asante Samuel. ... The Falcons have mandatory minicamp on June 18-20. Smith said he expects linebackers Sean Weatherspoon and Stephen Nicholas, who have worked on the side with a trainer during OTAs while recovering from injuries, to be cleared for the minicamp.

Spencer Ware Jersey .com) - The women will also have a new champion at the Australian Open. Matt Actons circuitous football journey has taken him from Brisbane to Myanmar and the Philippines, but Melbourne Victorys new goalkeeper is keen to make the A-League home again.Acton kept a clean sheet in his Victory debut against Newcastle last week when he filled in for first-choice stopper Lawrence Thomas, who remained in doubt with a finger injury.It was only the second clean sheet of Victorys season and the 24-year-old could get the chance to further press his claims against Perth on Friday night at AAMI Park.Thats out of my hands ... I came here not expecting to play straight away, so whatever they decide to do (its fine), Acton said on Wednesday.If Lawrence is back, Ill support him 100 per cent.Acton signed with Victory until the end of the season after No.2 keeper Alastair Bray suffered a serious shoulder injury.He was still playing with United Football League club Kaya FC in the Philippines in August when he trialled with Victory, who went with Bray as the back-up to Thomas.The Queenslander spent time at the Roar, behind decorated keeper Michael Thheo, early in his career, but has since played with Yangon United in Myanmar and featured in his last game for Kaya in mid-October.dddddddddddd.The searing heat and stifling humidity of southeast Asia are hardly ideal conditions for football, but Acton doesnt see his time there as some sort of professional exile.Some might see it as a weird sort of a move but I went there with the mindset of just playing as many games as I could, he said.Ive played in some difficult countries to play in and its made me realise a lot about myself as a person and as a footballer.So Im definitely better off this time than when I was last in the A-League.Ive just got to work hard at Victory now. Ive felt the disappointment of having to leave the A-League, but it also gave me a great opportunity (to travel).Ive experienced a lot as a footballer and Im still very young so I really want to knuckle down and try and stay in Australia for as long as I can.
