The New York Giants might face the signal caller they heavily scouted in the 2024 draft class. Atlanta's Michael Penix Jr., drafted 10th overall despite the Falcons signing Kirk Cousins last offseason, could get his chance to start against a struggling Giants defense. Penix has only played two games thus far, but Falcons head coach Arthur Smith believes they need to find a way to get Cousins to play better.
The New York Giants , who did extensive work on all the quarterbacks of the 2024 draft class before pivoting to receiver Malik Nabers, could very well be facing one of those signal callers they reportedly heavily scouted.
Cousins has been struggling under center for the Falcons, throwing nine interceptions to just one touchdown pass in his last five games. Morris’s words don’t necessarily mean he’ll make a change at quarterback before the Giants visit on Sunday. Giants head coach Brian Daboll, who was at Penix’s pro day, came away impressed with what he saw from Penix during his up-close look at him.
