The former UW quarterback agrees to terms on his rookie contract.
Michael Penix Jr. was known to take his University of Washington offensive linemen out to dinner and pick up the tab.
On Friday, the former Husky quarterback and No. 8 pick overall in the NFL Draft agreed to terms with the Atlanta Falcons on a four-year rookie contract worth $22.88 million, with a $13.46 million signing bonus included in the package, according to multiple media sources. The Huskies were just the platform he needed to sell himself, as he led them to a collective 25-3 record over his two seasons, to victories over Texas in the Sugar and Alamo bowls, to three consecutive wins over Oregon, which included a Pac-12 championship, and to a road win over USC, never an easy endeavor.
