The Atlanta Falcons continue to be linked to Washington Huskies quarterback Michael Penix Jr. ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft.
Atlanta is facing questions surrounding the position’s long-term future - and it’s possible former University of Washington signal caller Michael Penix Jr. becomes the solution.
Penix and former University of South Carolina standout Spencer Rattler are the two quarterbacks the Falcons have been around the most this spring, and according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Atlanta could be targeting a passer early - particularly Penix. But there’s a chance Penix breaks that trend - perhaps sparked by the Falcons’ five-hour flight to see him toss passes to Washington receiver Ja’Lynn Polk and tight end Jack Westover.
“Now, No. 8 overall, is that too rich for Penix? Maybe, but he's probably not there when they pick 43rd overall in the second round.”
